When the Emperor left the Panjab and proceeded to Fathpur, Mun'im Khan Khan-khanan came from Jaunpur, bringing Sikandar Khan with him. The offences of Sikandar Khan were pardoned, and the jagir of Lucknow was conferred upon him. Khan-khanan quickly returned to secure his Bengal frontier. Sikandar Khan also took his leave, and was sent along with Khan-khanan to his jagir. Each received a jewelled sword-belt and four horses with golden saddles. Soon after his arrival at Lucknow, Sikandar Khan fell sick, and died on the 10th Jumada-l awwal, 979 H.
