Court found the NRIC was not validly issued to the applicant but to another person (the real Kalithasan); applicant's evidence was contradictory and he failed to make full and candid disclosure, rendering him an imposter and disentitling him to equitable relief; absence of valid registration meant no legally protected expectation to require prior hearing; applicant also failed to attend the JPN appointment; therefore cancellation was lawful and judicial review dismissed.
