Abstract: This five-page document is a formal appeal submitted by Moulana Moulvi Syed Murtaza of Trichinopoly, Madras Presidency, to the All-India Muslim League Working Committee and M. A. Jinnah. Dated 15 October 1945, it protests his replacement by J. M. Jamal Mohieddeen for a Central Assembly seat. Murtaza accuses the Madras Provincial Muslim League President, Muhammad Ismail, of turning the League into a "family affair," manipulating board membership, and favoring his brother-in-law (the selected candidate) who is a non-matriculate political novice. Murtaza outlines his own 22-year unbroken legislative record, his role in passing key reforms, and his foundational work in Muslim education and community organizations.

Description: A comprehensive appeal against perceived nepotism and unfair candidate selection in the Madras Muslim League, highlighting the appellant's long public service and warning of party disunity if justice is not served. SCANNED BY: NATIONAL ARCHIVES OF PAKISTAN.
