He was the elder son of Abdul Rahim Khan and the heir to
Janjira and other possessions of the
Sidis. Following his father's death, he was expelled from
Janjira by a younger branch of the family, and Sidi Jauhar Khan seized the throne of
Janjira. He also appealed to the British for assistance. On 6 June 1791, an agreement was reached between the parties through the mediation of the British Resident at
Pune. The agreement required him to relinquish his claims to
Janjira in favour of the
Peshwa, to pledge loyalty to the
Peshwa, and to refrain from disturbing the districts under British control. In lieu of the land he had ceded to the
Peshwa, he was granted a tract of land near
Surat, estimated to yield £7,500 annually. In 1797, he paid nazrana () to
Shah Alam II, the
Mughal Emperor at
Delhi, and obtained the title of
Nawab. He died in 1802, and his son, Ibrahim Muhammad Yakut Khan I, succeeded him as the
Nawab of
Sachin. ==References==
