Petition

Contents

1 copy of ʿArz̤ah dāsht

Title: ʿArz̤ah dāsht
Title: عرضه داشت

Petition to unnamed royal addressee (with chatr) with reference to an earlier petition relating to Najaf Khān's retirement (see Or.16933/15). Clarifies that the writer does not blame the addressee (i.e. Emperor Shāh ʿĀlam) for personal shortcomings, but Najaf Khān's misfortune. Points out that a number of persons have been active in poisoning the addressee's mind against the EIC (sardārān-i Angrīz). Encourages addressee to investigate people at fault. Urges the speedy summon of Navvāb Munīr al-Dawlah to court, who may or may not be taken into employment. Clarifies that the writer (i.e. EIC) does not countenance insubordination by Najaf Khān, nor has it been reported that he was or will be insubordinate in the earlier petition (ʿarz̤ī-'i sābiq)
