Treaty of Sugauli was signed on March 4th, 1816, and Nepal lost places like Sikkim, Kumaon, Garhwal, Simla, Mussoorie, Almora, Ranikhet, Landor, Nainital to British India.
My questions are:
1. Who signed the treaty?
2. Who has its original copy?
3. How is it related to the current political activities with India
4. What is its status in the eyes of International Law?
Can somebody educate me on the Treaty of Sugauli with the back up of citable soureces, please?

Sugauli Treaty
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Treaty of Sugauli)
The territorial effects of the Treaty of Sugauli.
The Sugauli Treaty (also spelled Segowlee) was signed on December 2, 1815 and ratified by March 4, 1816, between the British East India Company and The Kingdom of Nepal, ending the second British invasion of the Himalayan kingdom during the Anglo-Nepalese War (1814-1816).
The signatory for Nepal was Raj Guru Gajaraj Mishra aided by Chandra
Sekher Upadhyaya and Lieutenant-Colonel Paris Bradshaw signed for the
Company. The treaty called for territorial concessions on the part of
Nepal, the establishment of a British representative in Kathmandu, and allowed Britain to recruit Gurkhas for military service. Nepal also lost the right to deploy any American or European employee in her service (earlier several French commanders had been deployed to train the Nepali army).
Under the treaty, about one-third of Nepalese territory was lost, including Sikkim (whose Chogyals supported Britain in the Anglo-Nepalese War); territory to west of the Kali River like Kumaon (present Indian state of Uttarakhand), Garhwal (present Indian state of Uttarakhand); some territories to the west of the Sutlej River like Kangra (present day Himachal Pradesh); and much of the Terai Region. Some of the Terai Region was restored to Nepal in 1816 under a revision of the treaty and more territory was returned in 1865 to thank Nepal for helping to suppress the Sepoy Rebellion.
The British representative in Kathmandu was the first Westerner allowed to live in the kingdom. The first representative was Edward Gardner, who was installed at a compound north of Kathmandu. That site is now called Lazimpat and is home to the British and Indian embassies. The Sugauli Treaty was superseded in December 1923
by a "treaty of perpetual peace and friendship," which upgraded the
British resident to an envoy. A separate treaty was signed with India
(independent by now) in 1950 which restored fresh relations between the two as independent countries.

Thank you all for tons of info. From Pahadi Dai's link:
Treaty of Peace and Friendship, Kathmandu, July 31, 1950
Article VII
The Governments of India and Nepal agree to grant, on a reciprocal basis, to the nationals of one country in the territories of the other the same privileges in the matter of residence, ownership of property, participation in trade and commerce, movement and other privileges of a similar nature.
Does this provision allow the citizen of Nepal to purchase property in India legally and establish residencey?
Thanks

Regarding the ArticleVII of Treaty of Peace and Friendship, Kathmandu, July 31, 1950
What documents a citizen of Nepal has to produce to purchase property in India legally? Has there been any interpretation on this treaty in court of law in either Nepal or India? What are the provisions in terms of enforcing this treaty? Has there been any instances in the past when this treaty has been used as a basis to purchase property in India?
