1. The applicant is a 29-year-old national of India who arrived in Hong Kong on 7 July 2013 with permission to remain as a visitor up to 14 July 2013, but he did not depart and instead overstayed until 18 September 2013 when he was arrested by the police. After he was referred to the Immigration Department for investigation, he raised a non-refoulement claim that if he returned to India he would be harmed or killed by a loan shark for failing to repay his debts.
