Mirza Saleh, who was allied with the Nawab and supported by the [[British]], faced opposition from Chimna Sau, as the British feared losing their influence if Chimna Sau became Subahdar. This led to intermittent conflicts between the two sides over the next two years. Despite Sheo Bhatt's eagerness to take charge of Orissa, he was hindered by Janoji's conflicts with his brother [[Mudhoji I]], who was rumored to be plotting Janoji's assassination. [[Mudhoji I]] mobilized his forces for revenge, further delaying Sheo Bhatt's departure.

By the end of June 1759, the conflict between [[Janoji Bhonsle]] and [[Mudhoji I]]  had eased somewhat. Sheo Bhatt finally reached [[Cuttack]] in July 1759 with a force of about 4,000 horsemen and 1,500 foot soldiers. By then, a settlement had been reached, and Mirza Saleh had ceded the Subahdarship to Chimna Sau. Sheo Bhatt then took over the province from Chimna Sau.
