Procedural Posture

Application for Leave to Apply for Judicial Review / Leave Refused (notification Under Order 53 R 3)

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether leave to apply for judicial review should be granted
  2. 2 Whether the Director and the Board committed legal error, irrationality or procedural unfairness in rejecting the non-refoulement claim
  3. 3 Whether the applicant faced a real risk of torture or violation of non-derogable rights on return

Leave was refused because the applicant failed to identify any reasonably arguable legal error, irrationality or procedural unfairness in the Director's or the Board's decisions; both decision-makers reasonably assessed the evidence, found the risk localized and low, and concluded that state protection and internal relocation in India were available, so there was no prospect of success on judicial review.
