Detailed Solution

In 1848, the Maratha Kingdom of Satara was the first state to fall under the Doctrine of Lapse. In 1848, Appa Sahib, the ruler of Satara, died without a natural heir. He had adopted a child before his death but had not sought permission from the Company. Lord Dalhousie implemented the Doctrine of Lapse. This doctrine stated that in the absence of biological heirs, the sovereignty of the British-created dependent state would revert to the Company or the supreme power. It stated that the succession of an adopted son could be valid only if approved by the British government.
