Statutory Declaration of Mohamed Ali Kallek
Statutory Declaration of Franji Viccajee
I have the honour to report that Sulima Ali
Mallek, Mohamed Ali Mallek, Ramjahn Ali Mallek
and Patricia Ali Mallek, four children born in
China to Kohamed Ali Mallek, who himself claims
to have been born in Hongkong, have applied to
me to effect the registration of their births
which in each case occurred more than seven
years ago.

Never-
Mohamed Ali Mallek, the father, applied
to the Hongkong authorities for a copy of his
birth certificate but received a reply to the
effect that the Hongkong records contained no
entry relating to his birth in Hongkong.
theless, he insists that he was born in the
Colony, but is precluded from incorporating his
statements of fact in a statutory declaration
owing to the effects of a serious illness, which
have rendered him almost helpless.
3. The evidence on which this point must
be decided therefore is the statement of his
friend, Mr. Framji Viccajee, a responsible
British subject, whose statutory declaration
I have the honour to transmit herein.
4. Mohamed Ali Mallek was married according
to the rites of a polygamous faith at the
His Majesty's Principal Secretary
of State for Foreign Affairs, Foreign Office,
LONDON.
