8th May 1938 from the Assistant Political Agent Mekran, to
the Political Agent, halat*

2* The full details of the case are as follows:-
On the 15th April 1938 Umar son of Murad caste Askani,
resident of Surab, Illaqa Mand sent his flock of 150 goats
to graze at a place called Shah M” Murad Chah about 600 yards
on the halat side of the Iranian border (not shown on map)*
While grazing a Nizami accompanied by Qadir Dad son of M&ndu,
Behr^mzai of Pi shin and Mohd son of Aulia, caste harr of
Pi shin attempted to take away a goat* The goatherd prevented
them from doing so, whereupon they ordered the goatherd to
accompany them to their vakil at Doshamba Chah (Iranian
territory) stating that the goat would not be released with
out his permission^ Accordingly the goatherd drove his flock
to Doahamba Chah and begged the vakil to return the goat.
The vakil instead of returning it impounded the whole flock
and the goatherd and took them to Pi shin, on the ground that
the place (Shah Murad Chah) where the goats had been grazing
belonged to Iran Government and that the goathered was ori
ginally an Iranian subject who had transferred his allegiance
to the British.

3. When the owner, Umar, heard this, he at once proceed/
to Pi shin to retrieve his goats. In reply to his request the
vakil of Pa shin made the extra-ordinary remark that as the
goats had been grazing within the boundary of Iran, they be
longed to Iran Government. Umar was thereupon arrested and
offered the choice of accepting Iranian nationality or being |
sent to Chahbar* He called the bluff and refused.

a fine of Rs. 45/- This was eventually reduced to Rs.25/-
