    Sudarshan Shah was facing acute financial problems. Pradyumna Shah  already sold t court and Badrinath temple  jewels  and gems for collecting soldiers.  The money was spent on day to day expenses and there was no regular income too .  Gorkha threat for his life was too there.
   In 1811, Ex Kumon PM Harsha dev Joshi and Sudarshan Shah met a trader Hearsay at Anjani Ghat. Hearsay was always in search of exclusive articles and properties.  They told him the problems of  Gorkha rule. Sudarshan Shah showed the order copies of Aurangzeb offering Jagirs of Doon and Chandi Ghat to Garhwal Kingdom. Hearsay shoed his interest in buying those orders (2 , 3) .
   Hearsay bought those papers and offered 1000 Beegha non-fertile land of Laldhang Khara region to Sudarshan Shah (Dabral) . Hearsay call them to Bareli and paid Rs 3005 for both the land –Doon and Chandighat . .

  As per a Nepali folk saying, when Pradyumna Shah fell down by facing the earth after getting bullet on his chest from horse in Khurbura battle, a Gorkha soldier said that since the king caught the earth while dying his son would get back the kingdom. (2)
     In Haridwar, Sudarshan Shah was always busy in finding the ways for getting back his Kingdom. Sudarshan Shah and Harsha dev Joshi had belief that only East India Company can get back Garhwal Kingdom from Gorkha. Therefore both used to meet Company officials British tourists, missionary clerics,   and supporters of East India Company in Delhi, Saharanpur, Fatehgarh.
   Sudarshan Shah met Assistant Surgeon Rutherford in Moradabad; met Lord Lake the Army commander, Revenue Commissioner Edward Kolbruk , Lieutenant Wabe, Ripper and Moorcroft..
      As the tension increased between Company and Nepal court and officials, British officials started contacting the  people those were suppressed by Gorkha officials or ignored by them .
 Fraser accepted Sudarshan Shah as successor of Garhwal King in 1814. Fraser suggested Sudarshan Shah for meeting agent of Governor General in Farukhabad and Kolbruk.   Sudarshan Sha met them (1) .

            Ex Garhwal Kingdom official Shiv Ram Saklani was cunning t and opportunistic person. Shivram Saklani family were always taking sides of power controlling personality. In Gorkha period, Shivram Saklani became pet man of William Frazer by helping British administration against Gorkha. His nephews Nadram and Kashiram became favoured persons of Major Ball Dock. In June 1815, Shivram sent letter to Frazer that his family had right on Athur , Saklana and Diuri (in Hills ) and Bajwala of Dehradun for centuries. Pradeep Shah offered Shivram Saklani family for Jagir of the above regions. (2).
 Shivram showed the King order to Frazer. Frazer orderd in writing (copy to Shivram) that Since , Shivram helped British in Gorkha period, the right on Diuri, Saklana and Athur in hills and Bajawala in Dehradun would be under Shivram till official order was sent from Sadar and the land would be free of tax (3)
   As per Tehri Kingdom record (4) , Shivram claimed for Kingdom King before Frazer but Sudarshan Shah reached before British officer Frazer could take any decision. Shivram asked sorry by touching feet of Sudarshan Shah (4). Sudarshan Shah appointed Shivram as his chief councillor as Shivram was pet man of Frazer. Sudarshan Shah did not object for Tax free Jagir for Shivram from British .
