PREDECESSORS AND SHORT HISTORY:
The Talukdar
of the Estate, who was of the Multani Malek race, traced his descent
from
the Multani Olia (Saint), Khwaja Bahudin Zakaria generally known as
Bahawal
Haq Multan. Nasirudin, one of the descendents of this Olia, started on
a pilgrimage to Mecca with his family, about the middle of the
thirteenth
century. Near the Vejasar tank, which is situated near Dasada, he
killed
a deer, at which the Hindu Chief of Patdi took offence, attacked the
caravan
and killed all its members. The wife and son of Nasirudin escaped to
Panchasar
which was the capital of Gujarat at the time. When Malek Bakhan, son of
Nasirudin, grew to manhood he took revenge on the Patdi Chief, killing
him in single combat. Malek Bakhan thereby ingratiated himself in the
King
of Ahmedabad's favor who hated the Patdi Chief. The King of Ahmedabad
took
Malek Bakhan under his care and deputed him on a mission to put down a
notorious outlaw named Raw Ratan. Malek Bakhan was successful and for
that
act was granted the Estate of Dasada. The Taluka was joint with the
Dasada
Taluka and became a separate entity only in the time of Malek Shri Zain
Khanji. The Taluka had jurisdiction as under: Criminal: Three months
rigorous
imprisonment and fines to the extent of 200Rs. Civil: To the extent of
500Rs.
