TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS

AT CANBERRA ON THURSDAY, 17 NOVEMBER 2005, AT 9.20 AM

Copyright in the High Court of Australia

HAYNE J:   The applicant is a Sikh of Punjabi ethnicity and a citizen of India.  A delegate of the respondent declined to grant him a protection visa.  That decision was affirmed by the Refugee Review Tribunal and in turn by a judge of the Federal Court and the Full Court of the Federal Court.  It is from the decision of the Full Court that he seeks special leave to appeal to this Court.  The Full Court was of the opinion that the applicant had failed to demonstrate any jurisdictional or like error on the part of the Refugee Review Tribunal to justify a reversal of its decision. 

There is no error on the part of the Full Court of the Federal Court in reaching that conclusion.  Accordingly the application for special leave to appeal to this Court must be dismissed.

Because the applicant is unrepresented, the application falls to be dealt with in accordance with rule 41.10 of the High Court Rules 2004.

Pursuant to rule 41.10.5 we direct the Registrar to draw up, sign and seal an order dismissing the application. I publish that disposition.

AT 9.21 AM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
