NAGARKOTI SUBASH v. TORTURE CLAIMS APPEAL BOARD / NON-REFOULEMENT CLAIMS PETITION OFFICE

NAGARKOTI SUBASH v. TORTURE CLAIMS APPEAL BOARD / NON-REFOULEMENT CLAIMS PETITION OFFICE

Extension of time refused because the applicant's intended appeal had no realistic prospect of success: the Board's adverse credibility findings rendered the non-refoulement claim unsubstantiated and there was no valid basis to challenge the Board's Decision, notwithstanding a two‑month delay.
