Maharao Raja attempted to sway the Madan's decision in favor of one of them, which Ross, who took charge of the Hadauti Political Agency in November 1834, deemed inappropriate and forbade him from doing in the future.

[3] Ross explained that Madan's absence was not meant to undermine the Maharao Raja's authority but was due to a fear for his life, as he had not invited the Political Agent to attend the Durbar.

[3] Due to this dual system of government, tensions and disagreements arose in Kotah between him and the Maharao Raja.

[4] After much discussion and some armed contests, Captain John Ludlow, representing the British Government, convinced Maharao Raja and Madan to reach a compromise.

[3] On 8 April 1838, a treaty was signed between Madan Singh and the British Government, leading to the formation of a new state for him named Jhalawar, which was created from one-third of the territory of Kotah and consisted of 17 parganas.

[3][5] At the same time, he acknowledged British supremacy, agreed to supply troops, and pay an annual tribute of Rs.

[6] On 10 April 1838, Maharao Raja Ram Singh II signed a treaty with the British Government in which he agreed to cede seventeen parganas to the Madan.
