Sheikh Kiam-ood-deen is established in the Sijjada-nashin in the same manner as his father and grandfather were. The second instrument of the third year of Shah Alum, about the 18th of October 1762, is a grant nearly similar in form, of two lacs and eighty one thousand dams, the produce of which is Rs. 3,000, to be fixed as an altamgha-inam to the sanctified Sheikh Kiam-ood-deen for the purpose of defraying the expenses of the frequenters to and from him, exempting the lands from the present assessment and from all that may be realized thereout by his good management; and the children and vizeers, &c., of the Sovereign are enjoined always to maintain and uphold the said order, and to relinquish the aforesaid dams to them, to descend to the offspring in succession to be enjoyed by them, and deeming this grant free from the contingency of alteration or change, the public officers are not to demand anything from them upon the score of revenues or charges, and to consider the grant free of all Dewanny taxes, or for any writings whatever made on account of the State. Deeming this a full and positive injunction, they are not to demand a fresh sunnud annually, nor deviate from these royal and munificent orders. Upon this instrument a memorandum was endorsed that 2,81,000 dams have been granted by His Majesty in Pergunnah Sahseeram, &c., as an altamgha-inam to Sheikh Kiam-ood-deen for the charges of the Fakirs." III. AN ALTAMGHA SUNNUD.1 "From the autumn crop, viz. from the month of Tingo Zail (last month of the Fasli year) as an altamgha grant to her from generation to generation, to her children, and those related to her. This grant is to be considered as safe from the strokes of change or alteration. No peshcush or the fees of Soobahdari, faujdari revenue, or other kinds of cess, such as tax or exaction, &c., is to be demanded from this estate; all increase in the revenue or proceeds of the estate proceeding from a good cultivation to go to the grantee. This sunnud or grant is all sufficient, fresh confirmation is not to be required year by year, nothing ought to be done contrary to this grant. Dated 9th of Zillah of the 30th year of the Reign (11th September 1788)." A Perwannah in pursuance of the same Grant. "Be it known to the chowdhries, canoongoes, zemindars and cultivators of the Pergunnah Badshapore and Jharsa, that whereas the aforementioned mehal was formerly granted as an altamgha jageer (jagiri altamghai) to the kind friend, the Begum Zeboolnissa, by a royal sunnud, so it is to be considered on the same footing as before, and all are required as heretofore to present themselves and pay the revenue to her without fail. This is very strictly enjoined, so let them be very careful to obey it." 1 Forester v. The Secretary of State, 12 B. R., 142. 2 lb.
