- Title:
- File 18/16 Trial of Hathiram, a BOAC Employee at Sharjah
- Scope & Content:
-
The file relates to enquiries into an incident at Sharjah in June 1946, in which S R Hathiram, a wireless operator with British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC) was alleged to have carried out a physical assault on a member of the Meteorological Department, Sharjah, who he thought had attempted to kick a dog 'maintained by' the company. Two other BOAC employees were involved in the incident.
The file includes correspondence from Jasim Muhammad (also rendered Jassim bin Mohammed), the Residency Agent, Sharjah (including copies of seven statements relating to the incident); BOAC; and the Political Agent, Bahrain.
The papers record that Hathiram was reprimanded by BOAC, but that no criminal charges were pressed, and Hathiram was eventually allowed to remain in Sharjah.
