2. I return herewith Land Department Case No. 824/1346.
It seems evident that when the Land Department found it
necessary to refer the dispute in this case to a civil court
for decision, the case should have gone to the Joint Court
as the applicant is a Saudi subject. The best course would
now seem to be to take this case on to the Senior Joint
Court register for final decision.
3. The sale deed contains references to boundary points
which one would have expected to be determinable even after
this length of time and I suggest that before the case comes
up before His Highness and myself an investigation oj^ the
ground be made by the Assistant 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. accompanied
by the Superintendent of the Land Department and the two
parties to the case. If you agree I will instruct the
Assistant 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. to communicate direct with the
Land Department in order to arrange this.
