(i) The letter of request for service shall be
accompanied by a translation thereof in the
English language, and two copies of the process
or citation to be served, and two copies thereof
in the English language."
Nothing in the nature of a letter of request appears
to be included with the documents.
3. The Registrar adds that of the two persons
to whom the writs are addressed one Agha Mohamed Ali
is alive and resident in this Colony; the other
Arratoon Vertannes Apcar died in 1931. The writ is
addressed to him by name and not as stated by the
Persian Minister to the firm of Arratoon Apcar and
Company.
In the circumstances the surviving defendant
and the firm of Arratoon Apcar and Company have
declined to accept service of these documents, and I
have therefore no option but to return them and to request that the Persian Minister may be informed that
no documents were included for service on the firm of
Arratoon Apcar and Company, and that service of the
documents addressed to Agha Mahomed Ali cannot be
effected unless they are accompanied by a letter of
request from the High Court of Justice at Tehran.
I have the honour to be,
sir,
Your most obedient, humble servant,
Md. Southor.
Officer Administering the Government.
