Missiles of important cases were spared from the arson and vandalism in the districts of Bhairahwa and Butwal in Rupandehi and high court during the August 24 demonstration. Similarly, records of about 21,000 old cases of the High Court Tulsipur Butwal bench have been burnt and destroyed.

According to court administration sources, the missile of the cooperative fraud case of Ravi Lamichhane, president of RSVP, is safe from the arson and vandalism in the High Court. Similarly, court sources said that the files of some big revenue related cases are also safe. The High Court has not yet released the details of the damage to the case files. 

On the 24th of August, protesters set fire and vandalized the High Court Butwal bench. Court bench chairs, computers and some files were burnt due to arson. Campaign and Writ Branch, Kapilvastu and Rupandehi civil case offices were completely burnt due to arson. Other rooms of the High Court, judges' office, bench and record branches were also set on fire and vandalized.

Ram Bahadur Kunwar, information officer of the court, said that about 21,000 files of the old records that have been decided have been burned, but the work of searching for the files of the current case is continuing. "We are preparing to issue a public notice within 1/2 day about which case files have been burned or lost," he said, "now the remaining files are being studied and based on that, the lost or burned case files will be identified." And we will make it public .' He said that since all the files that came to the court have the same importance, it cannot be said that they are big or small.

Although there was a lot of damage to the physical structure due to arson and vandalism, all the case files in Ruppandehi District Court Bhairahawa are safe . Padam Aryal, Information Officer of District Court Bhairahawa, said that none of the files were burnt. "All the files of the district here are safe," he said, "there is no information about the files that have gone out of here." He said that it will take time to get the details from other places as there are many files from the district court to the high court and the Supreme Court.
