Singh v Minister for Immigration & Multicultural Affairs [2000] FCA 78

Singh v Minister for Immigration & Multicultural Affairs [2000] FCA 78

The application failed because the Tribunal did address whether the warrant dated 8 November 1995 and other alleged warrants were genuine, rejected the claim that such warrants existed, and gave reasons for doing so. The applicant did not show that the particular fact that there were no warrants outstanding for his arrest did not exist, so the ground under ss 476(1)(g) and 476(4)(b) was not made out.
