Intro
Mirza Ghulam Jilani was getting pension money also. His father’s name is Mirza Tasadduq Jilani, he was the cousin of MGA’s grandfather (Mirza Gul Muhammad). He was an uncle of MGA, in fact, he is the 2nd-cousin of MGA’s father, and thus, MGA’s uncle (cha cha or thia, its unclear).
Per Ahmadiyya sources, he sued MGA’s father and appealed to the British government in 1865, this culminated in the famous 1865 settlement (See Dard). In the famous Punjab Chiefs (1865 edition), Mirza Ghulam Jilani is not listed by name, he is called as a brother of Mirza Ghulam Murtaza. After 1865, Mirza Ghulam Jilani began receiving pension payments from the British Government. The full amount of pension for Mirza Ghulam Murtaza and his brother-cousins was 700, it was 200 before then, in fact, when MGA went to go and pickup the pension money it was only 200. After 1865, MGA’s families cut of the pension went up to 350. Mirza Ghulam Jilani and the 2 widows of his brothers also got 280 rupees. Its unclear why the descendants of Mirza Tasadduq Jilani were getting pension. Maybe, they also helped the British during the mutiny of 1857. Mirza Ghulam Muhiyyuddin family and Mirza Ghulam Ghaus got the remaining 140 rupees it seems.
It’s unclear when he died, nevertheless, he was never heard from again, his descendants are unknown too.
Mirza Ghulam Murtaza died in 1876, after his death, Mirza Ghulam Ghaus and Mirza Ghulam Jilani sued the estate of Mirza Ghulam Murtaza and his son, Mirza Ghulam Qadir. This case seems to have last a few years. MGA’s Barahin-i-Ahmadiyya series came in this time frame. By 1883, Mirza Ghulam Qadir lost the case, it was a huge loss, he seems to have had a heart attack and died soon thereafter.
By 1897, MGA admitted that his god would help in all of his worldly matters except those against his own family (collaterals), however, this was after Mirza Ghulam Qadir had already lost a huge portion of the estate. Per Dard, Mirza Ghulam Qadir didn’t give up the land, Mirza Sultan Ahmad (MGA’s eldest son) completed the transaction. Per Dard, Mirza Ghulam Murtaza owned all of the property and refused to share it with his 2nd cousins.
Mirza Ghulam Jilani is also mentioned in 1901 (see Malfuzat-3, online English edition, pages 206-208, Al-Hakam, vol. 5, no. 28, dated 31 July 1901, pp. 7-8).
He is also mentioned in the ROR of Aug-1939.

1865
Mirza Ghulam Jilani and others cousins of Mirza Ghulam Murtaza sue. They win the case and begin to receive pension payments. The pension payments last until all of the brothers and cousins of Mirza Ghulam Murtaza died. However, the British government protects Mirza Ghulam Murtaza and don’t allow him to lose any land. In fact, the case of the Wall of 1900 was solved by this very court case, since Mirza Ghulam Murtaza claimed to own that land along with his brothers, and not his cousins.

“””The Promised Messiah as said: “Allah the Exalted is ever present. I shall only speak the truth. I am now nearing sixty years of age. Mirza Ghulam Jilani was among my forefathers. Now, he has no home here. During the course of these court proceedings I have come to learn that Ghulam Jilani filed a case against Imamud-Din and my revered father. Initially, only Imam-ud-Din’s name was on the documents, but then a submission was made to amend this and the name of my honourable father was included as well. My attorneys, who have now studied the case file, informed me of this and I am told that this file contains a sitemap as well. There is an old well situated in front of the door of my son Sultan Ahmad’s home. Some six or seven years ago, I had a well made in the women’s quarters of my home for their convenience. The water carrier is unable to provide us with a large quantity of water. Even now there are about fifty or sixty women who stay in the women’s quarters. We have not used the well that is near the front door of Sultan Ahmad’s home for quite some time now. When our people go there to fetch water, Sultan Ahmad’s people prevent them. None of these people are ordered expressly by Sultan Ahmad. His first wife has died and now he is married to the daughter of Imam-ud-Din, the defendant. The sister of Imam-ud-Din is Sultan Ahmad’s paternal aunt, who was the wife of my late brother Mirza Ghulam Qadir. The one who stops us from using that well is the same lady—the sister of Imam-ud-Din and the paternal aunt of Sultan Ahmad. She prevents us from using the well in conspiracy with Imam-ud-Din. I have heard her forbidding us with my own ears. I have personally heard the sister of Imam-ud-Din saying: ‘These people are the enemies of my brothers Imam-ud-Din and Nizamud- Din, and my relationship is with my brothers. I do not want these people to fill water from this well. Stop them.’ I have heard her saying this many a time. Sultan Ahmad is opposed to me. One of the reasons for his opposition is because he was adopted as a son by Mirza Ghulam Qadir, and a claim was made that he should be entitled to half of my property. Now he deems it in his best interest to remain on the side of his paternal aunt. This announcement published on 2 May 1891, which the defendant has presented, is mine. The well situated in the….”””
