KUMARAN CHANDRAKUMAR V. TORTURE CLAIMS APPEAL BOARD

The applicant, a 48-year-old Indian national, sought leave to apply for judicial review of the Torture Claims Appeal Board's decision dismissing his non-refoulement claim based on fear of political persecution by supporters of the AIADMK party. The application was filed significantly out of time, and the court found both the delay unexplained and the grounds lacking merit. Both the extension of time and leave to apply for judicial review were refused.
