UK: NEPALESE BOY FOSTERED BY BRITISH MILLIONAIRE FACING DEPORTATION

(6 Feb 1996) English/Nat A Nepalese boy fostered by a British millionaire is facing deportation after a lengthy legal battle. 19-year-old Jayaram Khadka was plucked from poverty in Nepal five years ago by businessman Richard Morley after the boy's father saved the Englishman's life. Morley has since brought him up as his son and heir. Now a British court will decide Jayaram's fate after the authorities denied him legal status. 19-year-old Jayaram Khadka and his "adoptive" brother Ben are in charge of feeding the ten peacocks living in the grounds of Clearwell Castle. The boys have developed a strong fraternal bond since they were fostered by British millionaire businessman Richard Morley. This 17th-century castle in the heart of the English countryside is a far cry from Jayaram's native Nepal. The boy was plucked from poverty by Morley, five years ago - the circumstances are nothing if not extraordinary. Morley was on a trekking holiday in the Himalayas when he suffered a near-fatal accident which left him stranded high up in the mountains. He was found by a village policeman, Basu Khadka - who ran for days to find help - and saved his life. As payment, Khadka asked Morley to take care of his only son, Jayaram, should anything ever happen to him. Five years later, on learning of the policeman's death, Morley - true to his word - returned to Nepal in search of Jayaram. The boy - who's been brought up in the finest English tradition - has settled in happily with his new family. SOUNDBITE: I come from a culture where family bonds are very strong, not only the close family but also the extended family and I have lost one family and found a new one where I fit very well and they love me and I love them and I just don't see any problem with that. SUPER CAPTION: Jayaram Khadka - Nepalese boy After repeated attempts to officially adopt the boy failed, the British authorities say Jayaram entered the country illegally and are now threatening to deport him. Morley - a 42-year-old bachelor - shares his stately home with what he calls a "communal family unit" he feels this has weighed heavily against him as he is not a standard family man. SOUNDBITE: I think that a very fundamental human right is at issue here and that is the right of children who are brought up with families to continue to be with those families if they wish to, and if we ignore that right then what we are saying is that wherever you are born therein lies your home and that isn't really possible in the third millennium which we are about to enter where the migration of people has become far more commonplace than it has been in the past, and I really think that we've got to look towards the future and realise that the world is changing - and that people in Jayaram's circumstances should not be treated with such inhumanity. SUPER CAPTION: Richard Morley - Jayaram Khadka's guardian The fate of the heir to Clearwell Castle will be decided by the courts in London - after a lengthy legal battle the Morley family can but hope the doors to a bright future won't be closed to this 19-year-old Nepalese boy forever.
