I write this for P.A^ information:-
Ha ji Abdul Nabi bought a oaravanBrfi^Tl situated near the Customs
some time ago from Sayid Saduk for a sum of Rs.14,000. It is said
that he had no cash (or for some unknown object) he borrowed this
amount from Shaikh Khalif and arranged to pay him Rs.300 per month
as interest, and mortgaged the Title Deeds to him. Now I hear from
a reliable source that Shaikh Khalif is entirely under his control
and he is directing him privately in any legal case in which he
(Haji Abdul Nabi) is interested. Haji Abdul Nabi is secretly nego
tiating with the German firm to try and use his influence through
Shaikh Khalif to nullify the will of the late Haji Hassain Kasab
by some legal excuse and allow a right for the daughter of Haji
Hussain provided that her share should be mortgaged to German firm
for a certain amount. If Abdul Nabi gains his object and the share
of Haji Hussain^ daughter will be mortgaged to the German firm for
a long period it will be a sort of sale and the son of the late
Haji Hussain will never be able to turn the German firm out.
