RAJKOT DISPUTE
RULER RECIPROCATES
(Received May 22, 10 a.m.)
RAJKOT, May 20.
In response to Mahatma Gandhi's renunciation, of the award in his favour, Thakore Saheb, the ruler of the Rajkot State, has withdrawn his antiagitation measures and returned fines imposed and properties confiscated.
A message from New Delhi, published on March 20, stated:—Sir Maurice Gwyer, Chief Justice, ruled in Mahatma Gandhi's favour, holding that Thakor Saheb, of Rajkot, committed a breach of the agreement under which Mr. V. Patel, one of the Congress leaders, had full authority to select seven members of the Rajkot Reforms Committee.
In the course of a statement published on Friday Mr. Gandhi said that the Gwyer Award, instead of making his way smooth, angered the Bhayats, consequently he renounced the award.
