Adil Shah
Around 1656, Shivaji Maharaj - another vassal of Adil Shah - forcibly captured Javli. Shivaji Maharaj, who had similarly captured other territories in the area, justified his action to the Adil Shah, arguing that he governed these territories better than the deposed rulers did. However, the Adil Shah doubted Shivaji Maharaj's loyalty, and sent his general Afzal Khan against Shivaji Maharaj. Shivaji Maharaj defeated Afzal Khan, and went on to establish an independent kingdom that evolved into the Maratha Empire.
