Jammu: The erstwhile royal family of Jammu and Kashmir today moved a local court seeking possession back of some buildings in the Raj Bhawan which it alleged were "illegally occupied" by the state government.

Trustee of Hari-Tara Charitable Trust, Karan Singh, filed the lawsuit in the court of the Principal Sessions Judge against the state government for "illegally" occupying the Bhawan, once known as Maharaja's palace buildings.
