Definitions
Sunnud is a historical Indian administrative and legal term from the British colonial era, referring to an official document — a charter, warrant, deed of grant, or deed of gift — conferring a privilege, title, or right. Used extensively in British India's land tenure and administrative systems. Entirely archaic in contemporary usage, surviving only in historical documents, colonial-era legal texts, and academic histories of the subcontinent.
The zamindar produced a sunnud from the Mughal court to support his claim to the disputed lands.
