It was the court of the Debi Singha, who is historically renowned for being the tax collector during the British Raj. He came from Panipat . After a trial, he succeeded in getting an appointment in the Revenue Department under Dewan Reza Khan. He was known for being strict against those who failed to pay taxes on time to him. Gradually, he was able to exert his influence among the people of the East India Company and became head of that department. Debi Singha was also the founder of the Nashipur Raj Family who belong to Agrawal Rajvansh. [2] [3]
