"ملف ب/١٠-٧ مطالبة مانيباي زوجة دهامانمال ضد سيث كيشَنداس نثمل من دبي" [و‎‎١‎٢] (٥٨/٢٣)

Transletion of letter No 874/937 dated 9th October 1937.
from the Residency Agent, Sharjah to the Political Agent,
Bahrain.
After Compliments,
V/ith reference to your letter No 298 dated
25th August 1937, I enclose herewith a petition dated the 19th
September 1937 from Seth Kishandas Nathomal . Following your
instructions I have made the necessary enquiries in this case
with the plaintiff (defendant) who informed me that since the
son of the plaintiff attained his majority,he was directly
paying him his share in the rent and that he 1ms the relative
receipts in his office in India, He also says that his mother
the plaintiff has no right to any claim and that he cannot do
or act according to her wishes. He is also willing to sell the
property and take his share of the proceeds should her son
request him to do so.
I have inspected the property and found it
to be in a delapidated state and that unless some repairs
are made it will be reduced to ruins and which is not in the
interest of both the parties. As regards the rent mentioned
in the letter of Kishandas dated the 21st July 1937, it is
the best rent obtainable at present for this property.
According to the Hindus Law the eldest son
has the right to the inheritance of the property , and where
as Chatarbujdas according to the statement of Kishandas is now
twentysix years of age, he is the only person to claim his
share and therefore he should appoint an attorney to undertake
the sale on his behalf. The property as I saw it, is unsepara-
ble in a way benificial to both parties. The best course would
be to put the property in auction and whoever of them wishes
to buy it he can do so, otherwise it w r ill be sold to a third
party and the claimants each takes his share, or the order
rests with you.
I am returning herewith all the papers forward
ed with your above letter. Usual ending.
