From the end of the Qajar dynasty, tax collection was given to the Ghavam-ol-Molk family in some parts of present-day Hormozgan, such as Rudan and Ahmadi, but in 1316, Bandar Abbas, Rudan, and Minab became part of the eighth province with Kerman as its center. From 1313 AH, disputes arose between Ibrahim Khan Qavam and the owners of Rudan over agricultural lands, which lasted for about twenty years. Qavam, based on the tax receipts of Habibullah Khan Qavam, registered all the good lands and even endowments in his name. The owners of Rudan also responded to this action to seek their rights. Thus the twenty-year conflict between the two sides began a. This article aims to answer the question of what factors contributed to the prolongation of the legal dispute between Ibrahim Qavam and the owners of Roudani and determine the final result. The data were collected mainly from the Islamic Council Documentation Center (Kamam) and the National Documentation Center (Sakma). Findings show that Ibrahim Ghavam tried to take ownership of the Rudan lands by relying on factors such as influencing the royal court, British support, using the guerrillas of the Fars region and the Taherzai tribe, as well as bribing local officials. But finally, factors such as the fall of the Qawam family's position in the Pahlavi court, the rise of Mossadegh, and the emergence of an anti-British atmosphere, as well as the continuous efforts of the Rhodan people, failed the Qawam family in achieving their goal.
