Dubai 19 / 9 / 1937.
To
The Honourable Resident ana Consulate General
Bushire.
Respected Sir,
I, the undersigned beg to state tnat I was reac
over by Mr Sayed iibdul Razak, the
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.
Agent, Sharjah,
the letter of Mismat Manibaiin respect to the property
situated at Dubai in e^ual partnership of myself ana the son
of said Manibai. The facts are as under.;
Manibai is not concerned party at present as
Chatarbojdas, her son and the legal heir of Biiamanmal, has
attained maturity since about 8 years back and is the sole own
er of the said property, I always deal with him since attain
ing his maturity and it is false ana frivolous to hold out
a young man of about 26 years of age as a minor. Your Honour
is well aware of the Hindu Law I can well imagine that Mr.
Chatarbojdas who is the only son of his father, is the proper
owner of the property in question ana that the attitude taken
by said Manibai is only to misrepresent the facts before your
honour in oraer to prejudice your honour against me and to put
me in unnecessary trouble. The said Chatarbojdas always receive
the rent of his share when recovered. Even recently he received
Rs 40/- towards his half share in rents recovered last year
from one Narsingdas Karidas ana always likewise he has been
receiving proportionately the rents when realised. It is untrue
that there exists any such agreement by which I nave to pay
fixed amount of rents for ever. If at all there exists such
it must be for a year or for the time specified therein which
shall not exceed a year. Your honour knows always that the rents
of properties are chageable according to tne circuraastances ssn
and it is silly ana absurd to contend that I am to pay rents
according to the alleged agreement. If any period is specified
in the alleged agreement, she must have received the rents
