I have the honour to state that the appointment of ITirza
Saiyid I uhammad Khan Saj.jadi - a Persian subject -to the
post of Attache to H.M. Consul-G-eneral Meshed appears to
have been limited to a term of five years. This term expired
on May 15th 19 52. On referring to the files in an endeavour
to discover the terms on which he was appointed,! find that
all papers in this connection are missing.
From information which I have been able to gather I
understand that the lat£ Colonel Biscoe,when Consul-G-eneral at
Meshad experienced difficulty in obtaining the services of
an Indian for this post & as a special case, the appointment
of a Persian was sanctioned. In view of the fact that (
Sajjadi was over-age at the time of appointment,was sanction
ed the full pay of an Indian Attache, but the appointment
was limited to five years, I am led to the conclusion that
the advantageous terms of pay were granted in view of the
intention of the Government of India to limit the period of
employment and to thus .compensate the individual, T who would
be ineligible for pension.
3. On account of the ruling rate of exchange the present
pay of this Persian Attache amounts to a sum in Rials which
