Office of the Inspector General of Police,

Sir,
f
With reference to your letter No:T/91-4/7-I, dated
23rd ultimo regarding the admission of Shaikh Khalifah bin
Muhammed Bin’Isa to the Police School, Nasik, I have the
honour to reply as follows to your several queries*
n- wmild he convenient for Shaikh Khalifah to join the
School any time during November*
The medical examination should be a general one to see
he is physically fit: we naturally do not want a student with,
say, a bad heart to collapse at the School: general physical
fitness is thus very necessary* The Civil Surgeon, Karachi,
would know what is required*
The fees, payable in advance quarterly, are Rs*127/-
per mensem for the complete period he is at the School
inclusive of any vacation or leave taken. These fees are
payable to the Principal of the School. ...The length of the
course is usually 18 months but it naturally depends also on
how long a student takes to pass his several examinations:
some take longer than others*
Ordinarily students doing the course suggested for
Shaikh Khalifah are not given the vacations, but carry on
with certain practical work- Leave is ordinarily not given
to students except perhaps a few days in some urgent cases.
