Raghuji was succeeded by his son Janoji, though not without opposition from another brother Mudhoji. The matte was referred to Poona; the former was confirmed in the sovereignty of Nagpur, with the title of Sena Sahib Subah, while Chanda and Chhattisgarh were given is an appendage to Mudhoji. Janoji turned all his attention to settling the territory left him by his father. He and his kingdom sustained no injury by the battle of Panipat, but rather from the terrible losses of the other Maratha princes he became relatively stronger. Soon after this the Nizam, taking advantage of the minority of the Peshwa, Madho Rao, attacked his territory. Janoji was bough off from as alliance with him by the promise of the Sirdeshmukhi and full liberty to plunder his brother at Chanda; but though he abandoned the Mughals, he afforded no aid to the peshwa. The Nizam in that year was successful and dictated peace almost at the gates of Poona in 1762. Next year however, he broke through his territories and gained over Janoji to join him. Together they sacked and burnt Poona. The was not the last of Janoji’s treachery. By the promise of territory yielding 32 lakhs of annual revenue he was induced to betray the Nizam and attack his army in concert with the peshwa’s troops, in consequence of which the Mughals were entirely defeated. The price was paid was paid to Janoji, but the by peshwa did not fail to reproach him with his treachery. He detested janoji already and in 1765 united with the Nizam to avenge the sack of Poona. The confederate armies advanced to Nagpur and burned it and forced the Raja to disgorge the greater part of the price of his former treachery. Two years later Janoji was again in arms against the peshwa, having joined in the rebellion of Raghoba, uncle of the Peshwa and the Gaikwar. On this occasion the Peshwa advanced through Berar up to Nagpur, while Janoji having given him the slip, was plundering around Poona. But he was ultimately obliged to sue for peace, which was concluded in April 1769.
