Please refer to your telegram Ho 419 of 7/5/23*
This telegram was received a little matillated bat I gather from
it that the Bombay Barrister questioned the legality of the Order
made by me on the grounds that Jassim Chlrawi is a Bahrain subjeet*
If this is so he is quite wrong. Chirawi v as the name implies v i8
a Persian v of Persian parents & was not bom in Bahiain.lt was only
beeaase he was not a Bahrain sabjeet that he himself admitted that
he was liable to deportatinn under the Order in Couneil & the SShalk
eonfirmed & witnessed the doeument he gave 9 msl a translation of

Brerybody here knows that a Bahrain subjeet eannot be deported under
the Order,but everyone ( as eaplained in my No W £. of S - l )

is u^der the impression that the order applies to all foreigners
who are proteeted persons -Bad he been a Bahrain subjeet objection
would have been made at the time by him & would have been supported
hy 3hai3c Abdulla whose right hand man in intrigae was Jasim & to
save whose deportation he made every effort.
The ground^ on whieh the Grovernmcn t of India decided the
Order was ultra vires, was that he was not a British subject & as
a protecetd foreigner could not be deported.lt was a point which is
not very clear in the Order in Counc il & in which I made a mistake.
At the time I was not aware of the correspondance which had taken
place,regarding this particular point, when the introduction of the
Order in Councilmwas under consideration & to which correspondance
the Oovemment of India referred in pointing out that my deportatinn
order was not legal.
