No. C/376
Dated the 9th June, 1946
From
The Political Agent
Kuwait•
To
The Hon'ble the Political Resident in the
Persian Gulf, Camp* Bahrain*
Subject:- Visas for India to certain Kuwaiti Arabs
Sir
I have the honour to refer to your endorsement No.c/495
dated the 16th November, 1944 and to inform you that I have been
requested by All Hamood Shaya that the ban on the grant to him
of a visa for India be lifted. In view of the fact that
(a) All Hamood Shaya will cease to be blacklisted from the
1st July, 1946,
(b) He has been forbidden entry into India since November,
1944,
(c) There is little likelihood of further smuggling of gold
sovereigns as the price in India is higher than that in
Kuwait, and,
(d) His residence in India will help to promote trade
between India and Kuwait.
I support the application and request that it be forwarded to
the Government of India.
2. No further action appears to have been taken on the
deportation order (please see enclosure to Foreign express
letter No.D.7819-MI$/45 dated the 22nd June, 1945) against All
Hamood♦s son/Salih Ali Shaya, and I should be interested to
know how the matter tands.
I have the honour to be
Sir
Your most obedient servant
Political Agent, Kuwait
