Description
This correspondence between Khachar Nana Sadul, son of Sadul Dada (Prince of Chotila State), and the Political Agent under the Bombay Presidency concerns a dispute with his elder brother, Khachar Surag Sadul. The letter seeks access to land records, encroachment details, revenue accounts, and Japti (confiscated) lands through the Thander (police) of Chotila to ensure fair rights for both brothers. Its archival value lies in revealing the administrative negotiations and record-keeping practices of the period, showing how land, authority, and governance were contested and legitimized under colonial rule.
