Applicants A106 of 2003 v Minister For Immigration & Multicultural & Indigenous Affairs [2004] FCAFC 279

The appeal was dismissed because the Federal Court was obliged to follow the interpretation of 'effective protection' and other requirements for protection visas as set out in Thiyagarajah and related binding authority. The RRT's finding that the male appellant had effective protection in India, and its assessment of the risk from Maoists, disclosed no legal error.
