Fateh was the son of Adham Khan, the oldest son of Zayn al-Abidin the Great. His father was killed by his uncle Haji Khan, who took the throne as Haider Shah. After Haider Shah, his son Hasan Shah ruled till his death in 1484, leaving a minor son Muhammad Shah on the throne. As a result, some Kashmiri noble invited Fateh, who was living at Jalandhar after his father's death, to take the throne of Kashmir, which he did in 1486 CE.{{sfn|Hasan|1959|p=104-108}}
Muhammad Shah regained the throne in 1493 but Fateh soon retook it in 1505 after defeating Muhammad Shah in a battle near Kupwara. Fateh Shah reconstructed the towns of Pulwama and Anantnag.
