Statement of Muhammad bin Abduila bin Hasan, a Saudi Arabian
subject, resident in Bahrain, recorded at Bahrain on 4th
February 1940.
Many years ago (I an not sure how many but it is
recorded in the original document) I have purchased a piece
of land from Shaikh Ibrahim bin Khalid bin ali al Khalifah
and obtained a deed from him which was attested by Shaikh
Hamad. The piece of land is situated at Askar and I have since
planted date palms in it. about 12 years ago an Ilan was
issued requiring the registration of properties at the Tapu
Department. I applied for registration of my property which
was measured and an T Ilan about its registration was issued.
I have also paid the registration fees and delivered the
original document at the Tapu Department to be exchanged for
a Tapu deed but in spite of my repeated demands I have not
been given a Tapu deed. I herewith produce copies of the
letter of the Bahrain government, ordering measurement of the
property and the ! Ilan and the receipt of the Tapu Department
for the payment of the registration fees. I therefore request
you to kindly recover the title deed on my behalf.
L.T.I. of Muhammad bin Abdulla bin Hasan.
