1930 — Revision Petition Concerning Sajjada Rights and Management of Baba Budan Dargah
Historical overview
This file records renewed representations concerning the Sajjada office and management of Baba Budan Dargah at Chickmagalur. The petitioners challenged the prevailing arrangements and referred to earlier family claims and proceedings. The file also contains government office notes and a formal reply.
The government’s recorded position was that representations of this kind had already been considered and disallowed in 1902 and that there was no reason to reconsider the earlier orders.
