Mandhra (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application by Mandhra concerning a decision to dismiss their application. The applicant sought review of the Tribunal's decision to dismiss their application, which had been made on 12 November 2020.

The central legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the applicant had complied with the procedural requirements for seeking reinstatement of their application after it had been dismissed. Specifically, the Tribunal had to determine if the applicant had applied for reinstatement within the prescribed 14-day period.

The Tribunal reasoned that as the review applicant had not applied for reinstatement within the stipulated 14-day period, the Tribunal was obliged to confirm the decision to dismiss the application. Consequently, the decision under review was taken to be affirmed. The Tribunal confirmed its earlier decision to dismiss the application.
