. at anytime during the.eight months. Moreover-,
what our client wants is, not any maintenance allowance but funds for a
necessary and legitimate purpose. He much regrets the suggestion in your
letter that he should place himself in direct correspondence with his son on
the subject of an,allowance ^ » which looks very
much like adding insult to injury. He has not asked for a maintenance
allowance, and it is unthinkable that he, the Buler of his State, unjustly
deprived of his status and his privileges should go to his son a suppliant for
an allowance. He must decline to approach his son. His deposition was the
act of the representative of the British Government, and his application for
pecuniary help to obtain justice, is rightly made to Government, and we are
instructed to press this aspect of the case.
The statement that our client in last summer collected l
a sum of Rs. 40,000 from certain State gardens which were allowed to remain J
as his private property, is, we are instructed, as much of a myth as the state- I
ment that he had been drawing Rs. 4,000 per month as would be ascertained
on proper inquiries.
We are instructed now to request that our client’s application for funds
may now kindly be acceded‘to at an early date as being just and proper
and necessary to enable him to seek the redress hitherto denied to him.
