Mujallal.
Sardar Leader of a tribe or a polity; also refers to a military rank or title given to a commander of an army or division. Nusret has always maintained most cordial and friendly relations
with the Consulate and in his position as leading notabJe in the Province has
exercised great influence over the attitude of lesser notables and the people
generally towards the British. It is therefore a matter of regret that the
Governor-General should have undermined his influence and authority and
succeeded in forcing him to leave the Province.
Adl-us-Sultan, a brother of Sardar Leader of a tribe or a polity; also refers to a military rank or title given to a commander of an army or division. Nusret, was dismissed from his post of
Deputy Governor, Mehni, Sardui, Isfandiqeh and Jabal Bariz in August and

July after w r hich he held no official appointment.
In July the army was abolished, only 50 infantry for guards, the artillery
and the band being retained. The command of this small force was held by a
junior officer of the former Qushun Department.
The permanent Karguzar, Mujallal-es-Sultaneh, was absent in Tehran
until November and his assistant Mirza Habibullah Khan held charge of the
department daring his absence. Habi
bullah Khan though fairly satisfactory
did not shew excessive zeal in settling claims presented through the Consulate.
He is rather weak in character and has himself private business interests in
the town which make him loath to take energetic action against debtors with
whom he has private dealings. On the return of Mujallal-es-Sultaneh the
value of British Indian claims pending in the Karguzari was Krans 456, 738.
Mujallal-es-Sultaneh was towards the end of the year doing his best to
settle these claims but complained of the opposition and interference of the
Governor-General with whom he is on bad terms.
The total number of cases settled by the Karguzari under Consulate
supervision, including cases in which the interests of foreign subjects or firms
were concerned, was 44 and compensation recovered amounted to Krans
43,942-05. Fifty six cases were pending at the end of the year.

ment throughout the year. The department was abolished by Sayid Zia -ud -Din

Qarasuran Department (Koad Gnards). ^ . V, . n i i i i , tJUULJl
rersia limes should be responsible for the
safety of the main routes in the province but in July, shortly after his fall, the
department was re-established with a slightly reduced budget of Tumans 4,358
per mensem against tbe former figure of Tumans 5,358.
The department has continued to be as corruptly administered as in former
year and has yielded a handsome income to the Governor-General and Amir
Shaukat.
The custom of levying rahdari which was abolished in 1920 was reintro
duced in a modified form during the year under report.
Owing to the insecurity consequent on the disbandment of the South
Persia Rifles the Governor-General in October applied for budget provision for
an additional force of 100 sowars for the Yezd road. The proposal was sanc
tioned but only 40 sowars were actually posted on the road, and the Governor-
General transferred the charge of the road guards on this road from Amir
Shaukat to the Bakhtiari Deputy Governor of Rafsinjan.
