The Baoni royal family claim to be descendants of the Asaf Jahi dynasty of Hyderabad, tracing its origins to Abu Bakr, the first Islamic caliph.

[3] Baoni was located in the Betwa-Yamuna doab, Uttar Pradesh, with Kadaura as its seat of government.

[4] The princely state is no longer existent due to its annexation by India during the partition.

Due to this, there are no current rulers of the state and the descendants of the royal family remain scattered.

There is a known descendant of Nawab Syed Mohammed Mushtaq Al Hassan Khan Bahadur, through his granddaughter, Sikandar Begum and her daughter named Sajaadi Begum who was named Muhammad Hamid Khan.
