-
Continuing on from the previous file [IOR/R/15/6/202], this file relates to Mohammad Abu Rashid, Director-General of Customs in the Sultanate of Muscat and Oman, who was employed on deputation from Customs House, Calcutta.
Rashid's service in Muscat began in May 1946, and was extended in May 1949 for a further two years. The correspondence in this file concerns a request from the Sultan of Muscat and Oman [Sa‘īd bin Taymūr Āl Bū Sa‘īd] for Rashid's deputation to be extended beyond May 1951.
