CONSTITUTIONAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE LAW LIST

NO. 601 OF 2017

BETWEEN

	MR. NAHAR SINGH	Applicant
	and
	DIRECTOR OF IMMIGRATION	Putative Respondent

Application for leave to apply for judicial review
NOTIFICATION of the Judge’s decision (Order 53, rule 3)

Following:

consideration of the documents only; or

consideration of the documents and oral submissions by the applicant or counsel [ ] in open Court;

Order by the Honourable Mr. Justice Anthony Chan:

The application for leave to apply for judicial review is dismissed.

Observations for the applicant:

I am unable to see any merit in this application. Although there is no challenge against the decision of Appeal Board in the Form 86, that decision has also been considered. The Applicant’s case was carefully scrutinized by the Board. He was found to be an unreliable witness, and none of the grounds for non-refoulement was substantiated.

Dated the 21^st day of June 2018.

(Gladys Cheng)
