Reference to your letter No. 2583 Kh dated 15/11/352 and 28/1/935
Since a long time has passed since the signing of the precautionary seizure of the property of the deceased ⟦called⟧ Baruch
Yehuda Shua and the lawsuit has not ended, and since the aforementioned property may lead to damage, especially
since its prices are declining, the Israelite Religious Court in Baghdad has decided to sell the seized
property by public auction through your department and keep its proceeds until the outcome of the lawsuit.
Therefore, I request the execution of the court's decision and to inform us of the amount of net proceeds.
