Dear Agency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent. ,
Please refer to your letter F.Pl/l/PO of 4th
September on the subject of Messrs. Padoo and Mohsin.
These employees were included in the list of staff submitted
with Residency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India. letter No. 127/2/49 of 31st -January for
whom revised conditions of service were approved with effect
from 1st April, 1949 (Netting f s letter 3303/91(5/49) of
4th April to Dredge refers). These conditions included
one month f s leave
and allowances
per annum on full pay
Normal Foreign Office rules do not permit locally engaged
staff to accumulate leave i.e. to carry forward from one
year to another, but in special circumstances we are
prepared to leave this to the discretion of the head of
the post. So far as the period prior to 31st March 1949
is concerned it should be noted that His Majesty’s Govern
ment too^ over responsibility for the posts in the Gulf with
effect from 15th August 1947, administration being in
the hands of the Commonwealth Relations Office up to 31st
March 1943, after which date the Foreign Office assumed
responsibility. It 'was agreed at the time of the transfer
of power thao temporary staff employed in the Gulf who were
tai-cen over by His Majesty’s Government should retain their
existing conditions of service. It follows therefore that
from the period 15th August 1947 to 31st March 1949 Haddo
and Mohsin were entitled to leave at the rates they enjoyed
while in Government of India service. Insofar as these
employees have been unable to taxe the leave due to them
owing to the exigencies of uhe service, you may allow
them to taxe the accumulated leave at the first available
opportunity. T ' ,r e cannot authorise payment in lieu of leave
not
v/e do/feel that we should at this stage
conte plate the part of leave earned during'Government of
India service - we thin: it extremely unlixely that the
former employers would agree to accept liability for this.
It may be however that a precedent has been established in
similar cases where employees had leave Credits’ at the
time of the transfer, and you will have to be guided by.this.
One further point we would like to mention
concerns iaddo’s pay,

for him with effect from 1st April 1949 are
