Syed Mohammed Abbas Ali Meerza (Bengali: সৈয়দ মহম্মদ আব্বাস আলী মীর্জা; born 1942)[1] is the heir of the last Nawab Bahadur of Murshidabad. He has been so since the Supreme Court of India declared him to be the lawful heir in August 2014. The royal title had been in abeyance since the death of his maternal uncle Waris Ali Meerza (the third Nawab Bahadur of Murshidabad) in 1969.[1]
