ABSTRACT
Syed got some loyal and efficient officials. Syed Salim was an old employee of the government and was in possession of the iqta of Amroha and was khat of Sarsuti during the reign of Mubarak Shah. Three days before his death, Khizir Khan nominated his son Malik Mubarak as his successor and made him sit on the throne. Alauddin Alam Shah, son of the Sultan, sat on the throne after the death of his father. Malik Bahlul and others expressed their allegiance to him. But it was understood within a few days that he was more inefficient than his father. Alauddin was going to Samana in 1445 when he learnt that Ibrahim Sharqi was marching towards Delhi. In 1441 Muhammad Shah went to Samana and gave Bahlul Lodi the charge of Dipalpur and Lahore. He was also given the charge of suppressing Jasrath. But Jasrath had established peace with Bahlul Lodi who let him go.
