The jagir of Laroya was founded by Dasundha Singh, He was a Dhilon Jat of village of Chabal(also called Jhabhal) , in the present Taran Taran District, half-brother of the celebrated Baghel Singh(he was adopted by the Chabal family) , leader of the Karora Singhia misal. Dasundha Singh crossed the Beas in 1769, and seized some villages in the north of the Jullundur Tahsil. The family retained possession under Maharaja Ranjit Singh, supplying in return a contingent of twenty-six horse- men, whose services were valued at Rs. 2,420 annually by the British Government on annexation; and the revenues of three villages were resumed in lieu there of under the usual system. To Sadhu Singh the villages of Laroya,Madhopur and Dhada Sanaura, valued at Re. 4,600, were released for life. On his death, in 1851, Madhopur only was continued to his son, Basawa Singh. The village of Dhada was left with Sadhu Singh’s step-mother in life tenure.
