The K.P.M. recommendation states: ‘This officer’s record of service is a particularly good one and his work has on numerous occasions been recognised by the grant of certificates and rewards. He has for five months been employed on the special duty of unravelling extensive frauds on the Nushki-Robat-Sistan route in which certain officials of the Supply and Transport Department are implicated and large sums of money are involved. As a result of his efforts the conviction of several supply agents has been secured while other cases are pending. In the course of his investigations Head Constable Adalat Khan has shown considerable detective ability which is all the more creditable as he was unacquainted with the country and people amongst whom he had to work. The valuable service he has rendered to the Government in exposing the scandals in question has been acknowledged by the military authorities, the Consul in Sistan and the Political Agent, Chagai.’
