PANJAB SINGH

PANJAB SINGH, son of Sham Singh, a banker in the village of Gharjakh, near Gujrariwala, enlisted in the force of Fateh Singh Kaliarivala as a trooper. After the death of his patron, Fateh Singh, in 1807, in the battle of Naraingarh, he went over to Maharaja Ranjit Singh, who placed him in a regiment and gave him in jdgir the villages of Aima and Fatehpur in Amritsar district. Parijab Singh took part in various campaigns of the Maharaja. After the conquest of Multan in 1818, he was granted additional jdgirs subject to the service of 125 horse. On his death, his only son, Kahn Singh, being a minor, his jdgirs were resumed by the State.
