Indian man granted leave to appeal refugee refusalBEVAN READ/FAIRFAX NZ The High Court has granted an Indian man leave to appeal a decision refusing him refugee status. An Indian man with links to extremist groups can appeal a decision to refuse him refugee status in New Zealand. He worked several jobs, sometimes illegally, and was convicted of several offences, spending five months in prison before being deported after another failed refugee status claim. He also submitted that when hearing a claim for refugee status, the Tribunal should tailor its credibility assessment to the unique circumstances of each claim. The Justice was satisfied the man had identified a question of law that met the requirements for a leave to appeal, and granted it.
