[Letter to kamakhya Narain Singh]

Summary

In this one-page letter dated 31 May 1962, M. R. Masani asks Raja Kamakhya Singh of Ramgarh to arrange the immediate return to Bombay of Jeep No. BMC-5256. Masani notes that the vehicle had been taken from Mr. Janki Nandan Singh and had originally been loaned by the Bihar Party, whose owner was pressing for its return.

Masani refers to earlier letters of 18 April, 8 May, and 19 April, and invokes the position of several Jeeps belonging to the Centre. He states that the Centre could not authorize their retention unless and until Jeep No. BMC-5256 was received as directed by the Parliamentary Sub-Committee. The letter is a concise administrative appeal within the organisational and political context of the Bihar Rajya Swatantra Party.
