Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
The Doctrine of Lapse was used to annex Satara (1848), Sambalpur (1850), Udaipur (1852), Nagpur (1853), and Jhansi (1853). Lord Dalhousie was responsible for these annexations. The concept of lapse was an annexation policy launched by the East India Company regarding princely kingdoms. According to this policy, if an Indian ruler died without a male heir, his kingdom would "lapse" or become part of the Company's holdings.
The correct statement would be that the East India Company captured territories from Punjab and Satara based on the Doctrine of Lapse.
