Record of interview between Mr. L.Baggallay and Mirza Farrukh
Khan Bragbon on the 11th August 1932.
I discussed this question with Farrukh Khan yesterday.
i , t 1 ion 4 . a ,? 1 understand it is this •-
Our consul at Kerman has Bander Abbas and possibly some
other provinces independent of the Governor-General of Kerman in
his Consular district. His official residence is Kerman aid
most of his official communications will be aldressed to the
Governor-General there. But it is open to him if he wishes
to do so to address the Governor of Bandar Abbas direct on some
matter arising at Bandar Abbas. He should do so as the Consul
for Kerman, with the heading "British consulate, Kerman" on the
notepaper. The reply would arrive in due course through the
Governor-General of Kerman. This would not mean that the Consul
had done wrong to address the Governor of Bander Abbas direct,
but would merely be in accordance with the rule that though
outlying Governors may receive communications from the Consul
in whose district their province lies, and deal with th® in
order to save time, the reply to the Consul must always go
throug.i the Governor of his place of residence. For a few
months in the year the Consul might go down to stay at Bandar
Abbas. While there he would still be Consul at Kerman, and
whether he addressed the Governor-General of Kerman or the Govern
nor of Bandar Abbas while there, he should do so in that
capacity and on notepaper headed "British Consulate,Kerman".
i>arrukh admitted that at this point a slight difficulty would
arise, as there would obviously be much unnecessary delay if
the reply to a communication to the Governor of Bandar Abbas
had to go up to Kerman and be sent back to the Consul from
there. He thought that this could be got round by the Governor
telling the Consul unofficially what he had said in his reply
sent
