After the Butwal Sub-metropolitan City issued a public notice to remove encroached land, businessmen living on the land on Durbar Marg in Butwal Sub-metropolitan City-4 have started vacating it themselves.
The sub-metropolitan city has started vacating the encroached land of the High Court at the request of the Tulsipur Butwal Bench of the High Court.

Government documents The land in the name of the then Zonal Officer was in the name of the then Zonal Officer after the Zonal Office was abolished in 2046 BS. The meeting of His Majesty's government on 2048 BS decided to provide the land to the then Appellate Court, now Tulsipur High Court, Butwal Bench. After that, the court searched the land registered in its name, but was unable to remove the encroachments and houses.
According to Thirendra Kumar Subedi, the information officer of the High Court, the court had first issued a notice on the removal of unauthorized houses and houses for the first time on 2070 BS. For the second time, on 2071 BS, a study committee was formed to search for the encroached land and search for the encroached land. However, due to lack of interest from the subsequent court chiefs and local levels, the land could not be protected.
Now, the Chief Justice of the High Court, Basudev Acharya, has shown interest in searching and protecting the land. The former plot no. Information Officer Subedi said that the construction of the court building itself has progressed on 1 bigha 9 katta 3 dhur of 607.
‘The search has started for the protection of the remaining land,’ he said, ‘The High Court has requested the Butwal Sub-metropolitan City to take the necessary initiative for the search and protection of the land.’ He said that the further process will start from the sub-metropolitan city itself.
More than 15 people are currently doing business by building houses and tents on the previous 396 plots of encroached land. Some have rented them out. The Nepal Bar Association unit building has also been built there. Businessmen, employees and political party leaders have also built houses on the encroached land. They claim that the houses were built on the decision of political parties in the absence of people's representatives.
The Landless Squatters Problem Resolution Commission had provided land ownership certificates to 8 people from the court land in 2052 BS. UML leaders were in the then commission. After the Nepali Congress filed a complaint against the government for distributing government land based on party support, the District Land Revenue Office had cancelled the land title deed in 2069 BS based on a secretary-level decision of the Ministry of Land Reforms.
