Sher Singh succeeded to the estates of his father along with his two brothers, Jassa Singh and Fateh Singh. He took part in several of the Maharaja`s early campaigns of conquest receiving large additions to his estates at Bharatpur, Sahival and Kuhjah. He served at Kask in Pind Dadan Khan district, at Pindi Gheb and Jhang and joined the expedition against Kashmir in 1814 in which he was killed.
