Scan of document 6: Memorandum certifying the withdrawal of the detention order against Puran Chand Joshi, 1942-04-28
Unusual: this image shows TWO documents superimposed. The memorandum is legible in dark type, but the text of the Express Letter of 30 April 1942 (D16) shows through faintly behind it across the whole crop. Whether this is show-through from a sheet beneath, or an overlaid photograph, cannot be determined from the image.

Contrast-enhanced derivative. The scan shown by default is the unmodified original, so any reading can be checked honestly.

                New Delhi, the 28th April, 1942.

                        MEMORANDUM.

        This is to certify that the Central Government's
order No. 7/1/40-Political, dated the 6th March, 1940, for
the arrest and detention under Rule 26 of the Defence of
India Rules of Puran Chand Joshi has been withdrawn on
the understanding that the Government of India may reissue
it at a later date but do not propose to do so without
giving P.C. Joshi a month's notice of their intention.
