| Nitwit Judge Orders Deported Phoney Asylum Seeker Returned to UK |
| 2004-08-28 |
| From BBC News A High Court judge has demanded an explanation from the Home Office of how a failed asylum seeker was mistakenly deported to India. Jorowar Singh Dhillon was deported on Wednesday, despite an order from Mr Justice Davis saying he should not be. The 34-year-old spent just a few hours on the ground in Delhi before being sent the 4,250 miles back to the UK. .... Mr Dhillon's 8,500-mile round trip began when he was detained on Wednesday during a routine visit to immigration officials, who decided he should be deported. His lawyers blocked the move, on the grounds that Mr Dhillon was in the process of challenging the failure of his 1996 asylum application in the High Court under human rights legislation. Mr Justice Davis passed an emergency injunction forbidding his removal, which went ahead none the less. .... While Mr Dhillon was in the air, Mr Justice Davis passed a second injunction ordering him to be returned directly to the UK. .... |

| #2 What's especially interesting to me is that the judge apparently perceives no problem in a failure to act on a decision way back made in 1996, and now all of a sudden there's an emergency. . |
