Procedural Posture

Application for Leave to Apply for Judicial Review / Decision on Leave Application (refused)

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether the Board and Director committed error of law, irrationality or procedural unfairness in rejecting the non-refoulement claim
  2. 2 Whether the applicant faces a real and substantial risk of torture or ill-treatment on return
  3. 3 Whether internal relocation within India is reasonable and available

Ratio Decidendi

Leave refused because the applicant failed to identify any reasonably arguable legal error, irrationality or procedural unfairness in the Director's or Board's decisions; the findings that the risk was localized, police protection and internal relocation in India were available, and inconsistencies in the applicant's evidence rendered his challenge unarguable.
