After the death of Maharaja [[Ranjit Singh]], the Sikh court became fractious and the various agents acted at cross purposes to each other. Tej Singh appears to have had loyalties to the Raja [[Gulab Singh]] of Jammu and he, along with Gulab Singh, believed it to be a mistake to be warring with the British. However, [[Rani Jindan]], the Regent acting on behalf of the anointed prince [[Duleep Singh]], ordered him to march the troops against the British. He did so reluctantly.<ref name=Bawa/><br />

In the [[Battle of Sobraon]], General Tej Singh crossed the pontoon bridge linking the two flanks of the Sutlej river and ordered its destruction. According to historian Amar Pal Sidhu, this incident led to the defeat of the Sikh Army, possibly as intended by Tej Singh.<ref>{{cite news |title='Had generals not betrayed Sikh army, British would have left in 1857... there would be no Pakistan' &#124; punjab &#124 |newspaper=Hindustan Times |date=2016-04-22 |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/punjab/had-generals-not-betrayed-sikh-army-british-would-have-left-in-1857/story-rVmg6uc7bHh4MQaYEiM3LL.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180723004008/https://www.hindustantimes.com/punjab/had-generals-not-betrayed-sikh-army-british-would-have-left-in-1857/story-rVmg6uc7bHh4MQaYEiM3LL.html |archive-date=23 July 2018 |url-status=live |df=dmy-all }}</ref><br />

After the defeat of Sikhs, the [[Treaty of Lahore]] was signed by which Kashmir was sold to Gulab Singh to pay war indemnities to the British as well as the army was regulated.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.britannica.com/topic/Treaty-of-Lahore|title=Treaty of Lahore &#124; Indian history|website=Encyclopedia Britannica}}</ref><br />
