 Tegh Singh or Padarath, the youngest son of Basru Singh, gained the favour of Jahangir, and obtained in 1603 the grant of 660 villages in the parganas of Jalalabad, Kiratpur and Mandawar, together with the title of Rai, which is to this day held by the family as an hereditary distinction.Proceeding to his jagir, with several members of his family, he founded Nagal in 1604, and two years later built the fort of Sahanpur.Another version of the story is that the Jats migrated hither on the overthrow of the Suris by Humayun, and that Padarath won his estate as a reward.
