the Secretary of State for India to
say that the Sheikh of Bahrein is

sole legal jurisdiction exercised

consent, by H.M. the King, is
regulated by the Bahrein Orders in
Council of 1913 and 1922, as
subsequently amended, to which
reference is invited. The Schedule
to the Order of 1913 (as amended by
King’s Regulation No. 1 of 1924
under Art. 70 of the Order) sets out
the Indian Acts applicable in
Bahrein in the circumstances
described in the Order. Any enquiry
as to the local law or custom, if
any, which might apply in a case such
as the present, should be addressed
to the
Political Resident

This file contains papers relating to a legal dispute between Yusuf Lutfally Khunji and Shaikh Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, the ruler of Bahrain. The case concerns a joint venture between the aforementioned parties to set up and operate an ice-making plant in Bahrain at a spring owned by Mr. Khunji in 1922. Following the expiration of a five year monopoly on the manufacture and sale of ice in Bahrain, the two parties fell into a dispute on the plant.
The majority of the papers consist of legal correspondence between Mr Khunji's lawyers in Manchester and either the Political Agent A mid-ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Agency. in Bahrain or the Financial Advisor to the Ruler of Bahrain, Charles Dalrymple Belgrave. Of note, however, are letters of intervention by the Foreign Minister of Iran through the Persian Legation in London, protesting the treatment of a Persian subject in British protected territory.
