His Excellency the Judge of the Baghdad Court of First Instance, Respected The Objectors - Mr. Ahmad Al-Salloum and Mr. Abdul Hadi Faraj Hamza. The Respondent - Farid Daoud Samra, acting on behalf of the Lay Council of the Israelite community, in his official capacity. On May 28, 1957, we were notified of the judgment in absentia issued by your esteemed court on April 1, 1957 under case number 2547/956, which entails obligating the objectors to pay the respondent a sum of (192) dinars while bearing the trial costs, for the rent of the vacant plot serial 330 Kawalat for a period of one year ending on May 12, 1957. Since the aforementioned judgment is prejudicial to the rights of the objectors because the agreement that took place after the contract was made to reduce the annual rent to (150) dinars. Therefore, we have taken the initiative to submit the objection from this side within the legal period. Therefore, we request that the respondent be notified of a copy of the petition, and then a day for the hearing be appointed and the respondent be summoned for the hearing and to issue a decision to set aside the contested judgment in absentia and dismiss his claim regarding the increase while charging him the costs.
