The VC hero Gurkha who won the right to live here with the help of a Mirror campaign has led a protest for neglected comrades at the High Court.

Tul Bahadur Pun, 84, was among 50 comrades claiming a ban on 2,000 Gurkhas settling here is racial discrimination and should be lifted.

Solicitors for the Nepalese soldiers, who cannot move here if they retired before 1997, were fighting to get access to Home Office files on 50 cases. They said: “I think they will reveal discrimination against deserving men.”

A judge adjourned the case until September for a review.
