IN THE FEDERAL COURT OF AUSTRALIA NEW SOUTH WALES DISTRICT REGISTRY N 589 OF 2001 BETWEEN: ABDUL MAJEED PANDIKADAVATH APPLICANT AND: MINISTER FOR IMMIGRATION AND MULTICULTURAL AFFAIRS RESPONDENT JUDGE: DOWSETT J DATE: 22 OCTOBER 2001 PLACE: SYDNEY REASONS FOR JUDGMENT 1 This is an application for review, pursuant to s 476 of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth) (the "Act"). However no grounds are specified in the application. In those circumstances, the application is liable to be dismissed pursuant to Order 20 rule 2, and Order 54B rule 5. That is the appropriate course. This application is dismissed. 2 I should add for the record that I have, on a number of occasions, asked the applicant if there is anything that he wishes to say going beyond his application. He has, on each occasion, responded that he simply cannot go back to India, indicating in my view, a desire to review the decision on its merits rather than pursuant to the statutory right of review. 3 As I have said, the application should be dismissed. I order the applicant to pay the respondent's costs of the proceedings, including reserved costs. I certify that the preceding three (3) numbered paragraphs are a true copy of the Reasons for Judgment herein of the Honourable Justice Dowsett. Associate: Dated: 6 November 2001 The Applicant appeared In Person: Counsel for the Respondent: Mr J D Smith Solicitor for the Respondent: Sparke Helmore Date of Hearing: 22 October 2001 Date of Judgment: 22 October 2001
