Use a round window opening.

no i do not want to make opening i want to remove the part of the wall to be curved in the end like the one in the image shaded with green

Right. Put the opening on the corner. Easiest solution.

Another way is to use Solid Element Operation with a cylinder or other object as the Operator.

OR, set up a custom profile beam in a wireframe layer to intersect with the wall. By adjusting layer and wall priorities, the beam will cut the wall.

See attached, this is just one solution.
Edit:
Quick as ever, Dwight has another solution
And a suggestion you also learn to use a background colour other than black.

Thanks Rod Jurich for your clarification about black background i think i like it in 2d environment only because i get to use it in autocad 2d environment before so that is the reason but in 3d it does not matter.
