Solution : The correct answer is Charles T. Metcalfe.
The Treaty of Amritsar was signed on April 25, 1809, between the British East India Company's representative, Charles T. Metcalfe, and the Sikh kingdom leader in Punjab, Ranjit Singh. The treaty resolved Indo-Sikh relations for a significant period due to the perceived French threat to northwestern India following Napoleon's Treaty of Tilsit. Additionally, it addressed Ranjit Singh's efforts to bring the Cis-Sutlej states under his influence.
