About this record

This archival entry concerns a petition recorded in the Government of Mysore’s Muzrai File No. 101, part of the correspondence about the administration and management of the Baba Budan institution following the succession controversy.

The file’s petition-registration material is visible on PDF page 63, with a date of arrival recorded as 12 February 1903. The petition’s abstract and following leaves are preserved here as facsimiles.

What the document shows

The registration sheet and abstract refer to a dispute over the appointment and authority of an agent or manager, with objections raised in the context of the institution’s administration. The handwritten petition and accompanying vernacular leaves should be read as representations submitted to government, rather than as a final ruling.

Relationship to other records

The petition belongs to the wider 1901–1903 correspondence concerning succession, agency, the Hakdars and institutional revenues. It should be compared with the 24 November 1902 Government Order No. 1159 and other petitions in File 101. An administrative recognition does not, by itself, establish private title to Inam lands.
