MANISH KUMAR v. TORTURE CLAIMS APPEAL BOARD / NON-REFOULEMENT CLAIMS PETITION OFFICE [Decision on Leave Application]

Leave was refused because the applicant failed to demonstrate any realistic prospect of success on judicial review: the Board's adverse credibility findings and conclusions that state protection and internal relocation were available were within its fact-finding province and there was no demonstrated error of law, procedural unfairness or irrationality warranting interference.
