- Title:
- ‘Persia Application preferred by Syud Muheen Shah a Native of Pisheen, for the grant to him of a Pension as a reward for past services rendered to the British Government, referred for the decision of the Government of India & negatived by that Authority.’
- Scope & Content:
-
The item consists of copies and extracts of correspondence, minutes and resolutions cited in, or enclosed with, a Political Letter from the Government of Bombay to the East India Company Court of Directors, 16 July 1853.
The item relates to multiple requests to the Government of Bombay for aid, in the forms of loans and allowances, by Syud Maheen Shah [Sayyid Māhīn Shāh, also rendered in text as Syed Muheen Shah]. The item contains details about his financial difficulties and previous loans given to him by Lieutenant-Colonel Justin Sheil, HM Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary at the Court of Persia [Iran], and the Government of Bombay. His requests are based on the fact that he previously helped Captain Arthur Conolly travel from Afghanistan to India and holds a certificate (copy included, folio 483) to be used 'in case of need', given to him by a former Governor-General of India.
Syud Maheen Shah's request for an allowance is forwarded to the Government of India, who respond with comments on previous favours given to Syud Maheen Shah and their decision not to provide him with an allowance.
Correspondents include: Sheil, Syud Maheen Shah, and the governments of Bombay and India.
The title page of the item contains the following references: 'Bombay Political Department', Draft Number '877 1855', 'Collection No. 25 of No. 73 of 1853', and 'Examiner's Office'.
