Storia do Mogor 78: Houses and Gardens.

78

Having verified the existence of the mansabdars, Aurangzeb sent them back to Kashmir. He then issued orders that everyone in Hindustan who owned a house or a garden must produce his deeds. It was to see whether they all held under a royal firmad (farman, or rescript). For no one can hold any of these things without a confirmation and a grant in writing. Such farmans as it was necessary to admit he upheld; those that were forged were declared invalid.
