Explanation:

The royal Firman of 1765 was issued by the King Shah Alam II. He did this after his defeat in the Battle of Buxar of 1764.
As per this firman, the Company acquired the Diwani rights (Revenue Collection Rights) in Bihar, Bengal and Orissa. This Firman led to the infamous Dual system of Government of Robert Clive. Under this the Company was to have Diwani rights and the Nizami rights (Justice and law and order) were to remain with the Indians.
