He was the youngest of three sons of Hindupat Singh.[1] After the death of his brother, Anirudh Singh in 1779, he was installed on the throne of Panna by Beni Singh and Khemraj in 1785.[2] They installed him because he was a minor, which allowed them to wield power during his minority.[1] Following this, a struggle for the throne of Panna ensued between him and his brother, Sarnet Singh.[3] In the course of this conflict, a battle took place at Gathewara, where his benefactor, Beni Singh, was killed by the forces of Arjun Singh, who was aiding Sarnet.[1][3] When Mahadji Scindia sent Laxman Hari Newalkar to collect arrears due from Panna, he dispatched his Diwan, Rajdhar Singh, who defeated Newalkar in November 1790.[4] During his reign, the whole of Bundelkhand fell prey to Himmat Bahadur and Ali Bahadur, a grandson of Bajirao Peshwa.[2][3] Ali asserted his suzerainty over all rulers of the region and defeated him in his campaign, forcing Singh to flee to Kalinjar.[3] He later received a sanad from Ali Bahadur.[3]
He died in 1798, and his son, Kishor Singh, succeeded him on the throne of Panna.[3]
