Shah Jahan III ({{IPA|fa|ʃɒːh d͡ʒæ.hɒːn}}; 1711–1772), also known as Mirza Muhi-ul-Millat, was the sixteenth Mughal emperor, albeit briefly. He was the son of Muhi us-Sunnat, the eldest son of Muhammad Kam Bakhsh who was the youngest son of Aurangzeb. He was placed on the Mughal throne in December 1759 as a result of the intrigues in Delhi with the help of Imad-ul-Mulk. He was later deposed by Mughal ministers, acting in the name of the exiled Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II.[https://books.google.com/books?id=d1wUgKKzawoC&pg=PA140&lpg=PA140 Jaswant Lal Mehta, Advanced Study in the History of Modern India 1707–1813], p. 140
