In June 1949, the four princely states of Matsya Union were also merged in Rajasthan.On behalf of the state of Bharatpur, the Matsyavajas Jat Dheeraj Mathur and Natha Mathur were appointed to conduct the court by making the ruler of five villages named Karala, Pansali, Punth Khurd, Kiradi, Hastasar near Delhi. The ruins of this office are still lying in Karaala. Settled in Kakana village (near Gohana) from this village itself.[1]
