239.1

Alum Khan, a relative of the late King, residing at Ahmudnuggur, is elevated to the throne. — Mullik Larun, governor of Aseer, refuses to acknowledge him. — Adil Khan Farooky of Talnere puts forward his claim — is supported by his grandfather, the King of Guzerat, and his title is every where acknowledged. — Alum Khan, supported by the King of Ahmudnuggur, makes a second effort to ascend the throne, but is defeated. — Adil Khan Farooky attends his father-in-law, Moozuffur Shah II., in the campaign in Malwa — his death. On the death of Ghizny Khan, there being no other male relations living in Kandeish, the nobles sent a deputation to Ahmud Nizam Shah, requesting him to permit the Prince Alum Khan, a descendant of the Farooky family, then residing at Ahmudnuggur, to assume charge of Kandeish. At a council held by Nizam Shah Bheiry and Imad-ool-Moolk, King of Berar, those princes resolved to acknowledge Alum Khan heir to the vacant throne of Kandeish; but Mullik Larun, an officer of the latter government, who had command of the fort of Aseer, refused to acknowledge the new king. At the same time, Adil, the son of Hussun, and grandson of Nuseer Khan, by the daughter of Mahmood Shah of Guzerat, and who was then residing at Talnere, wrote a petition to that monarch, supported by one from his mother, begging to be placed in the government of his ancestor.
