[1][2] Jia apparently had Man Singh among his disciples — he not only taught him all the tricks of war but also provided tactical knowledge about quelling Pratapaditya of Bengal, a rebel vassal.
[1] In return, the zamindari rights of multiple parganas — including but not limited to the three villages of Sutanuti, Govindapur and Dihi Kalikata — were granted to Lakshmikanta, who would adopt the surname of Roy Choudhury.
[5][note 3] Notwithstanding the unclear circumstances governing their rise to the elite strata, the Roy Chowdhurys were one of the first Brahmin families of would-be Calcutta.
[9][7] This led the EIC to negotiate for the rent-rights outright and at the Mughal quarters; one Nathaniel Walsh was dispatched to Prince Azim-ush-Shan, then-Viceroy of Bengal Subah.
[11] On 1 August, three appropriately-stamped copies of nishaans were finally received;[11] the zamindari rights, not only for Dihi Kalikata but also for Sutanuti and Govindapur, had been transferred to the Company but subsequent to them paying Choudhury another 1000 Rupees.
[9][7] On 9 November 1698, the bainama (transfer-deed) was finally executed in tune with what the Company sought; the Choudhury sold all of their rights to Charles Eyre for a renegotiated sum of 1300 Rupees.
[6][7][12] On 3 February 1699, Diwan Khan issued a parwana declaring the transfer deed to be operative; thenceforth, the Mughals were to recognize the Company as the permanent taluqdars.
