PREDECESSORS and SHORT

is an offshoot of the Rajkot
state. Ranmalji, the Thakore Saheb of Rajkot had four sons
of whom Vajeraji, the 2nd son received Gadhka, but
Vajeraji's son died without any male issue and so the the
Gadhka Taluka was inherited by the 3rd son of Thakore
Saheb Ranmalji of Rajkot , Akherajji, who had also
formerly received Makhawad. The taluka follows the rule of
primogeniture for succession. The Jurisdictional powers of
