,
Please refer to our letter No. P/81(1/80)
of the 4th September, 1949 to the foreign Office
a copy of which was sent to you regarding Kadoo
and tlohsin and to our letter No. 0/236(14/11) of the
24th September regarding Kadoo’s rent allowance.
2. *¥e are enclosing herewith a copy of
Foreign Office letter No. 2503/91:Cll(13/49) of the
5th October 1949 from which it will be seen that
the Foreign Office agree to both men being allowed
accrued leave for the period from 15th August 1947
to 31st l*larch 1949 at the rates they enjoyed whilst
in Government of India service.
3. «e calculate this to be 27 days in both
cases, so that the remaining 33 days of their accrued
leave of 60 days was earned dueing Government of
India service.
4. We thln^ that both Kadoo and Mohsin are
entitled to these 33 days but no precedent has been
established here in a similar case by which we can
be guided as suggested by the Foreign Office.
5. ' Ve propose to pursue this question with
the Foreign Office but before so doing we should be
grateful if you would let us Know whether a similar
case has arisen in Bahrain.
6. As the Foreign Office letter of 5th October
1949 also raises the question of ladoo’s salary and
rent allowance - the latter being the subject of our
letter No. 0/236(14/11) of 24th September, 1949 to you -
we consider it would be preferable if we dealt with
this matter direct with them also. ‘-e therefore
propose to write them on the whole subject of Cadoo’s
contract, salary, leave etc. as soon as a reply has been
received from you to our enquiry at paragraph 5 above.
Yours ever,
