Answer:

Although Wajid Ali Shah was a capable ruler, the British residents gave exaggerated reports about his incompetence to the company authorities. This gave the East India Company a Casus Belli (cause for war in Latin) to conquer Awadh.

On 7th February 1856, Lord Dalhousie ordered to depose Wajid Ali Shah on the account of alleged internal misrule. This was in line with Dalhousie’s Doctrine of Lapse, in which the British would take over a kingdom if there was misrule also.

The Kingdom of Awadh was annexed in February 1856.
