Upadhaya v Minister for Immigration

In *Upadhaya v Minister for Immigration*, the applicant sought leave to withdraw their appeal against a decision of the Minister for Immigration concerning a Student Temporary (Class TU) visa. The applicant filed a notice of discontinuance within 14 days of the scheduled hearing date.

The central legal issue before the Court was whether to grant the applicant leave to discontinue their appeal, notwithstanding the timing of the filing of the notice of discontinuance.

The Court considered the applicant's request for leave to discontinue. Given that the notice of discontinuance was filed within the 14-day period preceding the hearing, the Court granted leave. The Court ordered that the applicant pay the respondent's fixed costs.
