“Meherangir plea dismissed”

I read Parsiana from cover to cover and greatly enjoy doing so. In the earlier part of the item "Meherangir plea dismissed” (Events and Personalities, Parsiana, September 21, 2015) the property has been described as Dr Homi Bhabha’s bungalow, while later on it is stated that it was Dr Jamshed Bhabha’s house. What is the link? This needs to be clarified.

The editors reply:
The bungalow Meherangir was bought in 1937 by Meherbai and Jehangir Bhabha, parents of Homi and Jamshed. After their lifetimes it was inherited by their sons. Following Homi’s tragic death in an air crash in 1966, the bungalow became the sole property of Jamshed who died in 2006, bequeathing Meherangir to the National Centre for the Performing Arts.
