(C-11-04). Iron
Political .^ent,
I bee to report about a house belonging to me at Basaiteen,
which I purchased in 1.146. It was then a plain lard without
building or trees with the exception of pain leave (house). Since
my purchase 17 years have gone by. I built a house of stone and
cement and dug a well. I shooted palntre-s and trees which now
i palm -
gave crop. I-purchased*this Iland) from one named Junah bin Isa
bin Ashcor. I spent much until the palrntrees and trees reached
their ^resent condition. The Purchase deed from the seller is w;
me. The seller Junah purchased it from one Luhanna bin lijrin
as-oahlawi. The latter got it as inhe -itance from the deceased

the document from which they took the boundaries of the house and
wrote to the Land department that the- house belongs to the purchaser
and no one else and the case was closed (case Jo.167 of 1359).
Some days later the Su^erintendent of the Land department asked me .
to register the house, but I had no money to pay for registration,
so I ,dld not register it. Cne year and eight months later .the
Land department became the claimant. They fiLad > a suit in the
Bahrain Senior Court. In that session the adviser appeared anc
ordered the transfer o’ the’ case to the Political agency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent. . Again
we received a summons with the agent of the Land department. The
latter produced ny previous opponents who gave false evidence that
I purchased only the piklrc leaves of the house. They were not the
witnesses of the sale, nor did they come when the sale was concluded.
They do not the name of the owner, nor the maiuter ■ in which the sale .
was made. At that meeting the Court did not ask me to bring the
witnesses of the document, but decided the case in accordance with
evidence of those witnesses, so the land has become for the
Government. Inspite of the query put by the Court to the fepniiz&Kxatgji
Superintendent of the Land Jeartnent who said that I purchased
the land and that he accreted the Purchase deed. The latter case
is under Lo.60/70, ..hen I saw the agression and unjust, I vas forced
to prove my right so I wrote a letter to
evidence w n s wrong -and false because the;

document. I took 'the document to the .adviser who sent it to the
Court. The Court sent for me and asked me to bring the witnesses
of the document. They are Shaikh kohanmed Salih, the present ^adhi
and khalifa bin'Hamad of Basaiteen and he is my neighbour. - Oti 2nd
Huh'arram 1362 they gave evidence for the documents and that I
purchased the land with its contents. The Court informed the adviser
and the Court of A: peal of the evidence given by the witnesses and
the proof of my ownership. Some days later the Bahrain Ctmrt informed
me that the Court of Appeal has decreed that the land is for the
Government, but they did not let me know on what ground this decree
was based while I brought two reliable witnesses. I find this
against the law and I am not ignorant to realise the right from
wrong. I asked for a copy of the report of 2nd kuharram 62 when
the witnesses gave evidence,but the Court refused to grant me a copy
of the report for that
session when my right was proved.
