Definition :

Firman, the 'Firmans' were expressions of the sovereign will of the Nizam and they were binding in the same way as any other law; nay, they would override all other laws which were in conflict with them. So long as a particular 'Firman' held the field, that alone would govern or regulate the rights of the parties concerned, though it could be annulled or modified by a later 'Firman' at any time that the Nizam willed, Ameer-un-Nissa Begum v. Mahboob Begum, AIR 1955 SC 352 (399).
