SAVANOOR.
33. The death of the Nawab An honorific title; an official acting as a provincial deputy ruler in South Asia; or a significant Muslim landowner in nineteenth century India. ofSavanoor, Abdool Duleel Khan, took
place in the course of the year under report. His Highness’s eldest son,
Abdool Kheir Khan, has been duly installed.
34. The late Nawab An honorific title; an official acting as a provincial deputy ruler in South Asia; or a significant Muslim landowner in nineteenth century India. , three years ago, gave each of his sons one or two
villages on lease. The villages were relet on lease, at somewhat higher
rates, by the princes, and the ryots complained of inability to pay the
rents enacted by these leases. It was asserted that these complaints had
been incited by the Dewan, Mahomed Ghous Khan, whose object was to
have the entire management of the revenue in his own hands, and who
was said to wish to have the leases set aside. In consequence, His present
Highness had communicated a wish to replace that minister by Abdool
Mujjeed Khan, one of His Highness’s own brothers.
35. On his side the Dewan reported in January 1863 that the Nawab An honorific title; an official acting as a provincial deputy ruler in South Asia; or a significant Muslim landowner in nineteenth century India.
was out of his mind, and that his brother took advantage of this to oppress
his subjects; but the Assistant Collector, having visited the Nawab An honorific title; an official acting as a provincial deputy ruler in South Asia; or a significant Muslim landowner in nineteenth century India. ,
thought there was no reason to suppose that the Nawab An honorific title; an official acting as a provincial deputy ruler in South Asia; or a significant Muslim landowner in nineteenth century India. was insane. The
Dewan’s allegations ultimately degenerated into a charge of extravagance.
36. As the rate complained of by the ryots have been in force for
three years, and have not been before complained of, the Assistant Collector
thought it probable that the Dewan had instigated the complaints. Finally,
the Nawab An honorific title; an official acting as a provincial deputy ruler in South Asia; or a significant Muslim landowner in nineteenth century India. promised to arrange matters satisfactorily, and the Assistant.
Collector hopes to have no more complaints on the subject.
SURAT.
37. The Agent for the Honorable the Governor at Surat reports
that Sunnuds had been conferred on the three native Chiefs under the
control of the Surat Agency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent. granting them the right of adoption and per
manent succession.
MAHEE KANTA.
38. In the Judicial returns from the Mahee Kanta boundary cases Mahee Kanta-
form the most noticeable class of suits. Only seventeen new cases were
entered on the files during the year, but 55 unsettled cases remained over
from the preceding year. Out of the total number thus standing for adjudi
cation only 27 were disposed of before the close of the year under report-
The total number of civil suits settled during the year was 1019. Other 944
