Land Revenue

[edit]

The village Karnol was founded by Jageerdar Khan Ameer-Ullah Khankhail. All village revenue from Karnol and Baralkot was given to the Khankhail family, as the sole owners. After 1965, when Qayyyum Khan became Minister, some land was transferred to individuals in Karnol and Brarkot. Khans of Karnol had freely given land to Government for offices like Nadra Office, PatwarKhana, and other educational institutes. The Khankhail family remain the leading tribe of Karnol and have done a lot of work for the people of their area. [vague]

[edit]

When Sa'adat Khan became the first ruler of Pakhal (1762–1780)[citation needed], he founded a village known as Garhi Sa'adat Khan on the banks of Kunhar River. The village is now known as Garhi Habibullah. Habibullah Khan(I) was chief of the Swati tribe and had three sons: Ameer-Ullah Khan (Karnol), Muhammad Ameen Khan (Garhi Habibullah Khan), and Dost Muhammad Khan (Tarkanal).[citation needed]

After the death of Habibullah Khan (I), by the Code of Swatiwali/Pashtunwali wali the oldest son have a right to become the next Chief of tribe.[citation needed] Ameer-Ullah Khan was the oldest son and had a right to become the new Chief of Swati tribe, Kursi Nasheen کرسی/گدھی نشین of Garhi Habibullah[citation needed] but he was religious type person,so he gave his Chieftainship and Khanate to his younger sibling Muhammad Ameen Khan. The area of the villages Karnol and Baralkot(including all neighbourhoods of Baralkot & Karnol) came into the share of Khan Ameer-Ullah Khan Sahib.[citation needed] So when he came from (Haveli,Dewri) Garhi Habibullah, then he founded this village. He was the Feudal Lord of Karnol and Baralkot and all revenue of these lands was given to him.[citation needed] He gave people lands in Karnol for farming,agriculture and homes.
