regarding the issue of passports to Bahrein subjects*
l^y Views on these three questions are as follows:-
( 1 ) I do not think that the passport issuing
authorities in India should continue to give certificates
of identity to those subjects of Bahrein who are resi
dent in India, who desire to travel tc places other than
Bahrein* They should be required to apply to their
own Government for & national passport* In the case of
a Bahreini wishing to return to Bahrein the passport
issuing authorities in India might# I think# give aim an
emergency certificate valid for on® journey to Bahrein*
( 3 } I see no objection tc Bahreinis* passport©
being renewed by the passport issuing authorities In
India. The fee charged is a matter for the decision of
the Government of India# but I would recommend the same
fee a© Is charged for the renewal of Indian passports*
(3) The presumption of the Bombay Government
Is in my opinion correct and I would r coo impend that
