Sir,
I have the honour to solicit a reference to the
correspondence ending with .Foreign and Political department
letter Ko.F. ia2-K/30, dated the 24th beceraber 1930, regarding
the desire of the Sultan of Muscat to abdicate, and to forward
herewith for the information of the GoTernment of India a
translation of the reply addressed to me hy His Highness the
Sultan*
2. It will be seen that His Highness* reply is entirely
uncomproftising and that he refuses to return and has presumably
gone off to Ceylon. This reply reached me on the 6th
December, but as there were various points regarding which I
desired to obtain the opinion of the
Political Agent
A mid-ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Agency.
, and
communications with Muscat are slow, it is only now that I am
in a position to submit my views for the consideration of the
Government of India*
3* The Sultan first mooted the question of his
abdication when on a visit to Simla in 1920. it was at that
time considered that his abdication would probably be mis
interpreted
