Family Claims Unlawful Eviction from Ancestral Home After Supreme Court Ruling

Photo · english.nepalnews.com

A family in Biratnagar claims they were unlawfully evicted from their ancestral home of generations by a local resident, Parshuram Sah, who purchased the land in 2012. The Supreme Court ruled in Sah's favor on February 27, 2025, upholding his right to possess the land but stipulated that the family could not be forcibly evicted until their houses became unlivable, while also prohibiting them from making repairs.

  • The Mandal family states their grandfather occupied the land since 1976, with permission from the original landowner, Narayan Prasad Koirala, in exchange for managing agricultural fields.
  • Parshuram Sah purchased the plot in 2012, despite knowing of the Mandal family's generational occupation, and subsequently filed a lawsuit for demolition and possession.
  • The Supreme Court's verdict prohibited the Mandal family from conducting any further maintenance or repairs on their existing structures.
  • Following the apex court's ruling, Parshuram Sah brought a bulldozer to the property to begin clearing the land.
