Correct Answer: as the State being maladministered


Solution : Correct Answer is as the State being maladministered

He is said to have implemented this strategy because he believed that British rule was vastly superior to that of the repressive and dishonest native rulers. On February 7, 1856, Governor General Lord Dalhousie issued a proclamation annexing Awadh to the East India Company under the pretext of alleged internal misrule as defined by the Doctrine of Lapse.
