D. 1359 their ancestor Said Nawab Ali migrated to [[Delhi]], in the reign of " [[Firuz Shah Tughlaq|Firoz Shah Ghori]]": (Firoz Tughlaq, son of Muhammad Tughlaq, is no doubt meant: he reigned from 1351 to 1388 A. D.): <ref name=":0" />on the way to Delhi they fought and conquered a [[Paganism|pagan]] king of [[Sialkot]], named Sain Pal, who was, they say, probably a [[Dogra dynasty|Dogra]] prince. On reaching Delhi they paid their respects to the king who ordered them to hold the [[Dhanni (region)|Dhanni]] and the [[Salt Range]] on his behalf: under the leadership of [[Muhammad Ali Kahut]], the son of [[Said Nawab Ali]], they accordingly retraced their steps to this district, and settled first at Gagnelpur, of which the ruined site is shown in Mauza Wariamal near the foot of the [[Salt Range]] : here they remained for some time, realising the revenue from the [[Janjua|Janjuas]] of the hills and the [[Gurjar|Gujar]] graziers of the [[Dhanni (region)|Dhanni]], and remitting it to [[Delhi]]. The Mairs and Kassars had not then arrived in these parts, but came six or seven generations afterwards. The eastern [[Dhanni (region)|Dhanni]] was then a lake, which on the coming of [[Babur|Babar]] was drained at his command, the Kahuts taking part in the work and colonising the land reclaimed. Chaudhri Sahnsar, 8th in descent from Kahut(the son of Nawab Ali), was their ancestor in the time of [[Babur|Babar]].<ref name=":0" /> During the Mughal period (around 15th Century), the Kahut rose to prominence until there power was destroyed by the Sikhs in 18th Century. The southern part of [[Chakwal tehsil]] where Kahuts predominate is still known as the Kahutani, a reflexion of their past dominance. Sometime during the Sikh period, groups of Kahut immigrated to Sargodha and Mandi Bahauddin.The most important Kahut family is settled in the village of Kariala in Chakwal. Other Kahut villages include Bhalla, Bhawan, Bhuchal Kalan, Chakora, Dhok Tallian, Dullah, Hasola, Langah, Domali, Musa Kahoot, Kahut, Kassowal, Nikka Kahut, Tatral, Thirpal, Thoha Bahader, Janga, Sadwal, Waryamal and Warwal, Mohara kor chisham.
