Shahshuja was arrested and sent as a\nprisoner to Kashmire. The influence of Attaullah Khan, thus was\nparamount from Kashmir to Peshawar.\n\nIn as much as Vazir Fateh Khan regarded the instruction of\nthe governors of the outlandish parts of the kingdom as the source\nof the government, he started with the king-Shah Mahmud-taking\nhis brother Sirdar Mohamed Azeem Khan and Sirdar Doust Mahamed\nKhan with him towards Kashmire. Peshawar could not with-stand\nopposition both times; and Kashmire on the second occasion, that\nis in the year 1227. A.H. ( 1812. A.D. ) was wrentched from out of the\nhands of Attaullah Khan. As a reward of the services of Sirdar\nMohamed Azeem Khan, the govership was entrusted to him; so that\nthe last governor of Peshawar became the governor of Kashmire.

Also, as the aggression of the Sikhs, which\nincreased daily, could no longer be tolerated, Vazir Fateh Khan\nstarted out towards Kashmire in the year 1816, A. D. There was a\nlikelyhood that a fight insure between him and his brother; but the\nintercession of his other brother-Sirdar Doust Mohamed Khan-the\nfight did not take place, and a settlement was arrived at. After the\npayment of thirteen Lakhs of rupess as the revenue, he was allowed\nto continue on the governorship.
