253.2

Khw. Ghazi had seized the charge of affairs—and Khw. Maqsud ‘Ali who was M. Kamran’s factotum, made with others an inquiry, through the instrumentality of Mir Barka, into the affairs of Khw. Ghazi and Ruli Allah. Mun‘im Khan, Muhammad Quli Khan Barlas, Faridun Khan and Maulana ‘Abdu-l-baqi, the sadr, were appointed to audit the accounts. Husain Quli Sultan who was one of his Majesty’s intimates, was the superintendent in this affair. The result of the inquiry was that Khw. Ghazi and Ruli Allah and a number of other condemned clerks were held to ransom. Muhammad Quli Sultan was appointed to take an account of Khw. Ghazi’s property, and Khw. Sultan ‘Ali, who, by the favour of his Majesty, had received the title of Afzal (most excellent) Khan, was raised from the position of mushrif-i-buyutat to that of diwan-i-buyutat. At this time, M. Ibrahim came post and did homage and was welcomed with favours.
