Sheo Singh was the Rawal of Samode and Diwan of Jaipur.
Succession
Following the death of his father, Bairi Sal, in 1838, he succeeded him as the Rawal of Samode.
Diwan of Jaipur
Maji Chandrawati had appointed him Diwan (transl. Prime Minister) of Jaipur. Although his appointment to the office was made without prior approval from the Governor-General of India, it was later ratified by the Governor-General.
Later life
He was in Delhi when the Indian Rebellion of 1857 broke out and had to remain there until the situation stabilized. There, he was summoned by Bahadur Shah II, who instructed him to persuade his liege lord, the Maharaja of Jaipur, to rise against the East India Company and remain loyal to the Mughal Empire, as his ancestors had.
