Awadh Royals to Sue British High Commission Over Pension

Imagine a long time ago, a royal family lent a lot of money to a big company called the East India Company.

The company promised to pay them a special monthly allowance, like a pension, in silver coins.

But after India became independent, the way they paid changed.

First, it was in nickel coins, which were worth less, and then in rupees, which are worth even less than silver.

Now, the descendants of the royal family only get a very small amount of money each month, sometimes just a couple of rupees.

They feel this isn't fair because the company broke its promise.

So, they have decided to go to court to ask for the money they believe they are owed, and they want the British government to be involved because the company was British.
