Summary

The applicant, a 45-year-old Indian national from Punjab who entered Hong Kong illegally, sought leave to apply for judicial review of the Torture Claims Appeal Board's decision rejecting his non-refoulement claim based on fear of harm from his paternal uncles over a land dispute following the death of his grandfather. The court considered the application on paper with oral submissions. The application for leave to apply for judicial review was dismissed.
