STRICT from
Memorandum of information
received during the month of
December 1906, regarding
affairs on and beyond the North-
West Frontier of India.
The Consul at
Persian claim to Kaeha
and Piran.
culturable land on the
Seistan reports that a
dispute has arisen con
cerning two plots of
vaguely defined
boundary between Baluchistan and Sarhad at
Piran and Kacha, about 30 miles south of
Koh-i-Malik Siah. The Vice-Consul at Koh-i-
Malik Siah reports that a small party of
Sarbazes, under an officer belonging to the
Koh-i-Malik Siah detachment, visited Piran
with the object of expelling the occupants who
belong to our Bohat levies, and that the land
has been handed over to Persian subjects. On
a reference being made to the Karguzar of
Seistan, he stated that Piran and Kacha were
both on the Persian side of the boundary
line, but this was denied by the Political
Agent, Chagai. Pending decision of the
question, the Karguzar has agreed to take no
action. The matter has been reported to the
British Minister at Tehran, and his attention
has been drawn to Sir H. McMahon’s memo
randum, dated 5th November 1904, on the
Perso-Baluch boundary question, and the map
annexed thereto. It has been pointed out
that the principles underlying the settle
ment, which was ultimately arrived at by
Sir A. Hardinge at Tehran, were that the
boundary should not he specifically defined,
that the status quo should be adhered to,
further claim should he made
no
and that — . ,, ,,
by either side. The status quo meant the then
existing conditions of occupation by either
side. The action of the Persian Sarbazes m
expelling our people is therefore unwarrant
able, and it is proposed, unless Sir C. Spring-
Bice sees any objection, to issue orders for the
restoration of the status quo by causing the
Sarbazes to remove forthwith.
