The Treaty of Amritsar was concluded between Maharaja Ranjit Singh and who of the following ?

The Treaty of Amritsar was signed on April 25, 1809, between Maharaja Ranjit Singh and the British East India Company during the Governor-Generalship of Lord Minto (1807–1813) [c1][t3][t5]. Fearing a joint Franco-Russian invasion, Lord Minto sent Charles Metcalfe to Lahore to negotiate an alliance [c1][t3]. Although initial negotiations faced hurdles regarding Ranjit Singh's claims over cis-Sutlej territories, the receding Napoleonic threat allowed the British to become more assertive [c1]. The final treaty established the Sutlej River as the boundary between the Sikh Empire and British spheres of influence, effectively halting Ranjit Singh's eastward expansion while providing him a secure frontier to expand towards the north and west [t2][t9]. This diplomatic settlement remained the cornerstone of Anglo-Sikh relations until Ranjit Singh's death in 1839 [c3][t9].
