The Mughal emperor had no right to interfere in the internal affairs of the zamindari without paying taxes. Zamindar Sharif Khan, son of Sharif Khan's tenant Mohammad Rafi, filed a serious complaint against him at the Delhi royal court. The trial of this allegation led to an extreme dispute between Zamindar Sharif Khan and the Delhi royal court. In a written decree of the emperor of Delhi, Sheikh Ghulam Mohammad settled the dispute and made a treaty of Sharif Khan with the emperor of Delhi. Both Emperor Aurangzeb and Zamindar Sharif Khan were very pleased with the diligence and prudence of Sheikh Ghulam Mohammad. Then, as a reward for this work, Emperor Aurangzeb presented a horse and a valuable shawl to Sheikh Ghulam Mohammad. Zamindar Sharif Khan and his adopted daughter Chand Bibi married Sheikh Golam Nabi, the second son of Sheikh Golam Mohammad, and gave him small villages called Charpara, Tekpara, Tengarpara, Binati, Kartail, Rajab and Chamrab as gifts.
