Hello, There the answer, given below.

Doctrine of lapse was applied by Lord Dalhousie for the annexation of Indian States.

According to this doctrine,if the ruler of any dependent state died without a legitimate or natural heir to the throne, then his state would directly be annexed or lapsed to the British Empire.

The British annexed the states of Satara, Jaitpur, Sambhalpur, Bhaghat, Udaipur, Jhansi and Nagpur under the Doctrine of Lapse.
