Lord Moira, later Maruquis of Hastings (1813 -1823) had arrived as Governor General in 1813 determined to end the Mughal Government and to replace it with the British rule. Furthermore, the East India Company had recently renewed the Charter of the East India Company in such a way as to leave no doubt the British Government's sovereignty over the lands in India.
The Nepali Government had been willing to hand over the British the control of the 22 villages of the frontiers of Saran pending the outcome of a joint inquiry and investigation. In the case of Butwal and Syuraj (places), Major Paris Bradshaw, the British representative on the Joint Inquiry Commission, unilaterally concluded the proceedings of inquiry and informed his government that the investigation had fully established the right of the Company's government to those districts under dispute. In May 1814, the Company's government was actually the first to use force. Its men captured Butwal and Syuraj.
