v2.c14.s22.1

We now return to our narrative. When Nizam-ul-mulk heard that Haidar Quli Khan had abandoned Ahmadabad, he discontinued his advance on that place and sent a letter to Safdar Khan Babi a prominent local leader, directing him to take charge of the province until the arrival of a new deputy. Safdar Khan thereupon entered on possession of the governor's palace known as the Bhadar. Meanwhile, the 12th Feb. 1723, Nizam-ul-mulk had appointed his uncle, Hamid Khan, to be his deputy with Fidwi Khan as provincial diwan. Certain parganas were removed from the Khalsa register and converted into jagir lands, five of the most productive of these being absorbed into Nizam-ul-mulk's own jagir, and Godhra granted in jagir to his brother-in-law, Mutawassil Khan.
