Mohammad Hassan Khan Ejlal-o-Saltaneh Sadri - اجلال السلطنه
Mohammad Hassan Khan Sadri, Ejlal-o-Saltaneh (born 1865 in Tabriz, Iran – died 1946 in Isfahan) was an Iranian court official and provincial governor during the Qajar era. He began his public service in Tabriz at the court of Mozaffar al-Din Mirza Qajar, then Crown Prince and later Shah of Iran.
He was the son of Mohammad Hossein Khān Sadri, known as Hajj Sadr-e Dowleh (Senior), a court official serving under Mozaffar al-Din Mirza Qajar, the Crown Prince in Tabriz, and his wife, Lady Sadr-ol-Hajieh Sadri.
Both his parents were grandchildren of Hajj Mohammad Hassan Khān Sadr-e Isfahani, who served as Prime Minister (Sadr-e Aʿzam) during the reign of Fath-Ali Shah Qajar.
After relocating to Tehran in 1896, Ejlal-o-Saltaneh held several administrative positions, including serving as the head of the police department.
According to the Memoirs of Ahmad Sadri (Etemad-e-Dowleh)[1], he was subsequently appointed as the district governor (farmandār) of various cities across Iran, i.e., Shahrood, Bastam, Kashan and Qazvin. Ejlāl al-Saltaneh twice held the position of Chief of Police (Ra’īs-e Nazmiyeh), and Commander of the Armed Forces (Ra’īs-e Afwāj) in Isfahan, as well as the Governor of Khuzestan. He was also the recipient of several honors and decorations of the time, including Third-, Second-, and First-Class General’s Medals, a bejeweled sword, epaulettes, the Amir Tuman (Brigadier General) Medal, and the Sardār (Commander) Decoration.
He had multiple wives, one of whom was Lady Gohar Khānom Mohtaram al-Saltaneh, the daughter of Moussa Khān Sartip and granddaughter of Mohammad Bagher Khān Sadri Beyglarbeigi. Ejlal-o-Saltaneh Sadri had three children: Morteza Khān Sadri, Mohammad Khān Sadri, and Lady Ashraf al-Molouk Sadri, who married Prince Mohammad Hassan Mirza Massoud, the son of Massoud Mirza Qajar Zell-e-Soltan, a prominent Qajar prince and the long-serving governor of Isfahan.
Following his retirement from public service (1920-1921), he settled in his private residence in Shamsābād, located on the northern outskirts of Isfahan.
He died in 1946 at his Shamsābād Estate, in Isfahan, Iran, and was buried at the shrine of Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib in Najaf, Iraq.
