Case Significance
Ranjit Singh v. Torture Claims Appeal Board / Non-refoulement Claims Petition Office [2025] HKCFI 4689 was decided by the Court of First Instance on 21 October 2025. The applicant, an Indian national, sought non-refoulement protection based on a stated fear of a police officer who believed the applicant responsible for his son's death in a car accident. The court amended the Form 86 on its own motion to correctly name the respondent and interested party, and finding no error of law, procedural unfairness or irrationality in the Board's decision, held: "I therefore dismiss the application." The application for leave to apply for judicial review was dismissed. The case was later cited in Re Nguyen Ngoc Nam [2026] HKCA 627, Re Ranjit Singh [2026] HKCA 642, and Re Ameen Khawaja [2026] HKCA 643.
