63-C.lof the 14th 1929, regarding he Sultan's house in
"Oehra "Dun, the Government of India's reply (D.O. ^o. 989/777X
.. 25th April 1923) seems to have been very decided. Wh^ dii|
the Sultan purchase "Hhanroclc" in the name of Shubai 1 i, when
he wo aid probably have got his wish if he had approached
Governnent correctly ?
"/lien T met TTis Highness at Muscat he appeared to
be labouring under a sense of grievance against the Govern
ment of India, and stated categorically tha^jhe wc i d return
once more to Muscat and would abdicate in 1930 in favour of
any person that the Government of India night select.
Is his treatment in this case the min cause of
grievance; and in the event of the Government of India's
meeting his wishes, is the Sultan likely to reconsider his
decision to abdicate ? I fear yo ir answer will be a negative
w /
but p i x he question an a ballon d T jtssai .
I suppose there would be no difficulty, if Govern
ment of India approved, in getting fttiubaili to transfer the
property to T T ic Highness either in his own proper name or
that of Mr T. F. ?. ^aeed.
