Application for Leave to Apply for Judicial Review
NOTIFICATION of the Judge’s decision (Ord. 53 r. 3)
Following;
Order by Deputy High Court Judge K.W. Lung:
Leave to apply for Judicial Review be dismissed.
1. The applicant applied for leave to apply for judicial review of the Decision dated 29 April 2019 of the Torture Claims Appeal Board/Non-refoulement Claims Petition Office.
2. By an affirmation dated 2 November 2022, the applicant applied to withdraw his application as he said: “I want to go back to my home country. My problem has been solved. My life is safe now in my home country. So I request you to withdraw my judicial review case no. HCAL 1410 of 2019 as soon as possible.”
3. In accordance with the Court of Appeal in Re Manik Md Mahamudun Nabi [2022] HKCA 471 at §19:
“(1) The applicant on his own motion applied to the Court to withdraw his application for leave to apply for judicial review. The Judge acceded to his application, whereupon there was nothing outstanding in the action. The Judge was correct to conclude the action by ordering a dismissal of the application instead of leaving the action at large.”
4. The application is therefore dismissed.
