HC Deb 06 July 1925 vol 186 cc49-50W
Mr. LANSBURY

asked the Undersecretary of State for India whether the Viceroy of India has approved the action of the British political resident of Udaipur in giving approval to the recommendation of a non-judicial commission ordering Mr. B. S. Pathik, president of the Servants of Rajputana Society, to be confined for a further period of five years in the solitary fort of Kumbalgarh on a charge of sedi- tion; and will he state for how long a period up to the present time has this man been detained?

Earl WINTERTON

Mr. Pathik is reported to have been arrested by the Udaipur State authorities in September, 1923. I have at present no information on the other points raised in the question.
