               After receiving letter from Hastings, Nepal court became alert and wanted to know whether East India Company was really ready for the war or not. Nepal worked out a strategy for knowing the intentions of the Company. Nepal Court ordered its Advocate (Vakil ) to meet Hastings. He was provided gifts for Governor General too.

                Nepal Court instructed Advocate Chandrasekhar Upadhyaya to meet Governor General and pretend for war proposal, he was asked to know the internal and strange matters. Upadhyaya was supposed to write those details in secret language.

  However, Bradshaw did not permit Chandrasekhar to enter into Company territory that he goes to Kolkata.

 Chandrasekhar waited at border for getting opportunity for meeting governor General as he was on tour of that region.
