KHAN IMRAN v. TORTURE CLAIMS APPEAL BOARD [Decision on Leave Application]

KHAN IMRAN v. TORTURE CLAIMS APPEAL BOARD [Decision on Leave Application]

Leave was refused because the applicant's grounds were broad, vague and lacked particulars and no reasonably arguable legal error, procedural unfairness or irrationality was identified in the Director's or Board's decisions which had reasonably assessed the risk as localized and found state protection and internal relocation available; the application thus had no prospect of success and the applicant indicated withdrawal after receiving a visa.
