Re. Representation on "behalf of Shaik
Sir Isa bin Ali A1 Khalifa, K.C.I .E.,
C.S.I., Ruler of Bahrein,to His Excellency
the Viceroy.
Sir,
We have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of
your letter 1T0.36-X- dated the 18th day of June 1924 informing
us that the Government of India are unable to modify their
former decision regarding our clients summary deposition from
the Gadi of Bahrein and that no action could "be taken on his
"behalf.
Our client is deeply grieved and disappointed with
the reply of Government couched as it is in perfectly general
any
terms without any attempt to meet^/of his specific complaints
or to refer to any of the grounds of the refusal of Government,
to institute an independent inquiry into his case which is
one of very peculiar hardship and indignity.
Our client feeling aggrieved at the order of Government
denying him any redress whatever proposes to submit an appeal
to His Lordship the Secretary of State for India-In-Council.
He has already incurred considerable costs in and about
submitting his memorial to the Government of India and fur
ther heavy costs will be incurred in connection with the
proposed appeal to the Secretary of State. In view of his
deposition and of his being left without any means or
resources
