Chunder Seyn Jadow peremptorily demanded his being delivered up to him and threatened in case of refusal to renounce his allegiance for ever. Shao was not prepared to punish this insolent demand, but he refused to give up Ballajee and sent orders to Hybut Rao Nimbalkur, Sur Lushkur, then near Ahmednugur, to march for Satara immediately. In the meantime Ballajee Wishwanath was cooped up in Pandoogurh, which was surrounded by the Senaputtee’s troops. Hybut Rao Nimbalkur, already jealous at not being made Senaputtee, and greatly incensed at Jadow’s behaviour, obeyed the order with all speed; the latter hearing of his arrival at Phultun, quitted Pandoogurh and marched to Dewoor. The armies fought, and the troops of Jadow being defeated, he retired to Kolapoor, accompanied by Ghatgay Shirzee Rao. The latter was confirmed by Sumbhajee in his hereditary possessions at Kagul, but both went off to meet Cheyn Koolich Khan (Nizam Ool Moolk), who had just been appointed for the first time to the viceroyalty of the Deccan, and from whom Jadow received a large tract of territory in the neighbourhood of Balkee, twenty-five miles east of Beder, as a Jagheer for the support of his troops.¹ - [Previous: v1.c19.46](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.grantduff-1826.v1.c19.46) - [Next: v1.c19.48](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.grantduff-1826.v1.c19.48) - [Up: v1.c19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.grantduff-1826.v1.c19) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.grantduff-1826.v1.c19.47](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.grantduff-1826.v1.c19.47) · Pramāṇa
