Note : A Farman issued by Mariam-Uz-Zamani Begum SahibaCredit -> Lizzy2012
"
Some ladies had the exclusive privilege of issuing official orders.
The
right of issuing royal farmans was the
exclusive prerogative of the emperor.
There were other official documents like Hasb-Ul-Hukm, Nishans, Sanads and Parwanas which were issued by the high officials and Princes.
But in some cases
farmans were issued by queens and princesses.
This
issuing of such orders was
confined to the
highest ladies of the harem such as
Hamida Banu Begum,
Mariam-Uz-Zamani Begum, Nur Jahan,
Mumtaz Mahal,
Nadira Banu Begum, and
Jahanarra Begum
"Following is a farman issued by Mariam-Uz-Zamani Begum Sahiba."
In another order issued by
Mariam-Uz-Zamani Begum Sahiba, Madabbir Beg is
asked to restore the jagir which was usurped by one Surajmal in pargana Chaupala (Moradabad).
