As peace was now made, the English demanded his surrender by the Nawab; but the Nawab, respecting his bravery and courage, did not consider it proper to comply, but dismissed Simru from his service. Simru, who was coming with the family of the Nawab from Bareilly to Lucknow, learnt the news of his dismissal on the way. On this he petitioned for the arrears of his pay, and resolved to take severe measures in the event of refusal. The Nawab Begam, mother of Nawab Shuja'u-d daula, and Beni Bahadur, paid him what was due to him near Shahabad, and then dismissed him. Having received his pay, he went to Jawahir Singh Jat at Dig and Kumbher. The family of the Nawab, with the Khanam Sahiba and others, arrived at the baoli (well), near Lucknow, on the 9th Muharram, A.H. 1179 (28 June, 1765 A.D.), and pitched their tents there. - [Previous: 7.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.chahar-gulzar-i-shujai~en-elliot.7.13) - [Next: 7.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.chahar-gulzar-i-shujai~en-elliot.7.15) - [Up: 7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.chahar-gulzar-i-shujai~en-elliot.7) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.chahar-gulzar-i-shujai~en-elliot.7.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.chahar-gulzar-i-shujai~en-elliot.7.14) · Pramāṇa
