[904] conspiracy with the object of supplanting him either by Dalpat Singh or by Ram Singh. It has been further asserted that Karamchand thereby wanted to make himself all powerful in the State. We may mention here once for all that we are not prepared to give credence to these allegations which are neither supported by evidence nor seen probable under the circumstances we fail to perceive any motive in Karamchand for this alleged act of treason against his master. Even those who lay this charge at his door are not agreed among themselves as to the name of the person in whose favour the alleged conspiracy was formed; viz; whether it was Dalpat Singh or Ram Singh. Besides the fact that Akbar, who was on the most friendly ternis with Rai Singh and was also connected with him through the marrige of his son, extended a hearty open and ready welcome to Karamchand when he fled to Delhi strongly militates against the theory that he had any hand in the crime imputed to him. We all know how inveterate Rai Singh had been in his enmity towards him and presumably he must have done his best to undermine the position and damage the status of Karamchand at the court of the Emperor ! He might have gone so far as to ask the Emperor to hand over Karamchand to him
