Pearling industry Oontd.
until they have recovered part of the amounts
which they lent during previous years. Some
Narkhudas made agreements with their Tarjaars
to repay annual instalments on the amounts which
they borrowed. In many cases they have been unable
to do this and the Tarjars now refuse further loans
until these instalments are paid up.
The uncompromising attitude of several large
Tar jars had led to a number of cases in court in
which the tarjars have claimed their instalments
and the Narkhudas professing to have no money
have offered instead their divers’ debts or even
their boats. Tarjars refused to accept anything
except cash and in many cases produced "Sennads”
guaranteeing payments of instalments in money
signed by Narkhudas last year. According to the
law, and the diving customs, the tarjars were
justified in their demands. A deadlock was
reached. Tarjars refused to advance any money
for the coming year, therefore narkhudas could
not pay their divers who clamoured for "Tesquam”
Pending the activities of the new Diving Oourt,
the Government summoned a temporary court consisting
of Khan Bahadur Abdul Behman ^aymi, Haii Mohomed
Bin Hindi; Haji Abdu Ali Bajab, and the Adviser.
The court enquired into the largest and most urgent
cases of this nature. With considerable difficulty
settlements were made between tarjars and narkhudas
