Copy of latter No.l32-Vii/12, dated the
His Britannic Majesty's Consulai^eneral in the French Establish-
uients in India, to the Under Secretary t o the Government of India
in the External Affairs Department New Delhi•
•••••••
I have the honour to refer to the correspondence
ending with rny Secret letter No .91-^11/12 dated the 2nd
April 1947 and to say that Subbaiah's claim to French nationa
lity has been contested in the courts here by some of his
political opponents. The local Appeal Court has to-day found
that he is a British subject. I understand that an appeal
on a point of law only - against this decision lies to the
Cour de Cassation in Paris, which is the equivalent of our
Privy Council, No. doubt the French Communist party and Subbaiah
himself will now make strenuous efforts to upset the decision
of the local court. I suggest, for your consideration,
that H.l . Embassy in Paris be asked to keep us in touch with
further developments.
