[Letter to Mr Piloo Mody]

Summary

This two-page English legal letter, dated 6 May 1975 and sent by registered A.D. post, is addressed to Shri Piloo Mody, M.P. The unidentified sender writes on behalf of tenants occupying part of the first floor of Samoon Building at 143 Mahatma Gandhi Road, Bombay, premises that had formerly housed the Swatantra Party’s national headquarters. The letter states that 40% of the rent and electricity charges were to be paid as compensation for the party’s use of the premises until August 1974.

The outstanding amount for the period through 31 March 1975 is stated as Rs. 1,628.68, which the letter demands immediately while warning that legal proceedings may otherwise be initiated.
