Land Revenue

The village Karnol was founded by 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 of the land was transferred to individuals in Karnol and Brarkot. The Khans of Karnol have freely given land to the Pakistani government for offices like Nadra Office, PatwarKhana, and other educational institutions. The Khankhail family remains the leading tribe of Karnol.

Historical Background

After Sa'adat Khan became the first ruler of Pakhal (1762–1780) [4] , he founded a village then known as Garhi Sa'adat Khan, on the banks of Kunhar River. The village is now known as Garhi Habibullah. Habibullah Khan 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). [5]

After the death of Habibullah Khan, by the Code of Swatiwali/Pashtunwali, the eldest son is set to become the next chief. [6] Ameer-Ullah Khan was the oldest son and had a right to become the new Chief of Swati tribe, but due to his religious beliefs, he gave his Chieftainship and Khanate to his younger sibling, Muhammad Ameen Khan. The area of the villages Karnol and Baralkot came into the share of Khan Ameer-Ullah Khan Sahib.[ citation needed ] After he came from Haveli, Dewri Garhi Habibullah founded this village. He was the Feudal Lord of Karnol and Baralkot, and as such, all revenue generated by these lands was given to him.[ citation needed ] He gave the people of Karnol lands for agriculture and homes. The family of Khan Ameer-Ullah Khankhail still lives in Karnol and have gained significant respect from the residents of the area.

The Swati Khankhails of Karnol are the descendants of only two sons (Bahadur Khan and Arsala Khan). The other three sons were killed during the Kargil War, along with their Grandfather Khan Habibullah Khan(Shaheed).
