<p class="C1">&#65279MEV&#256 SI&#7748GH MAJ&#298&#7788H&#298&#256, an artillery commander in the Sikh army, whose regiment, according  to the Lahore diarist Sohan L&#257l S&#363r&#299, was called Top<u>kh</u>&#257n&#257 -i-Mev&#257 Si&#7749gh, consisting of 10 light and 10 field guns and 1,014 men. In December 1844, Mev&#257 Si&#7749gh was nominated a member of the council constituted by Mah&#257r&#257&#7751&#299 Jind Kaur to run the administration of the Punjab. He commanded the Lahore Darb&#257r force despatched to Jamm&#363 in February 1845 for the chastisement of R&#257j&#257 Gul&#257b Si&#7749gh. Of all the Maj&#299&#7789h&#299&#257 <i>sard&#257rs</i> connected with the Sikh court, Mev&#257 Si&#7749gh was the only one who took the part of the &#7693ogr&#257s. It was through his intervention and that of Sard&#257r  Chatar  Si&#7749gh A&#7789&#257r&#299v&#257l&#257 that milder terms were given to R&#257j&#257 Gul&#257b Si&#7749gh, whose forces were routed by Ra&#7751jodh Si&#7749gh Maj&#299&#7789h&#299&#257 at Akhn&#363r in March 1845. Mev&#257 Si&#7749gh pleaded with skill and vigour before the <u>Kh</u>&#257ls&#257 Council for the restoration of Gul&#257b Si&#7749gh's power and territories. Sikh or British records have little to tell of Mev&#257 Si&#7749gh after 1845.</p>
