Abstract: This collection includes petitions from citizens across Pakistan addressing various grievances such as forced evictions, police harassment, administrative injustice, corruption in the RPAF, food shortages, and discrimination against engineers. Several letters are directly addressed to or copied to Mohtarma Fatima Jinnah, seeking her intervention. The documents reflect public trust in national leaders and the culture of petitioning high authorities for justice.

Description: The documents include petitions from refugees facing eviction, a wife complaining of police harassment at a hospital gate, an engineer protesting supersession, an airman exposing corruption in the RPAF, and citizens appealing against food shortages and inflated fares. Fatima Jinnah appears as a repeated recipient and copy recipient, indicating her role as a trusted figure for public appeals. These records capture the social and administrative challenges of early Pakistan. SCANNED BY: NATIONAL ARCHIVES OF PAKISTAN.
