Judicial review of RAD decision dismissed; IFA findings reasonably applied.
The applicant sought judicial review of a RAD decision dismissing his appeal from the RPD, which denied his claim for refugee protection on the basis of viable Internal Flight Alternatives (IFAs) in India.
He alleged fear of persecution from cow protection groups, the ruling party, and the police.
The Federal Court found no reviewable error in the RAD's refusal to admit new evidence that was available before the RPD hearing.
The Court also held that the RAD reasonably applied the two-pronged test for IFAs, concluding that the applicant's feared agents of persecution lacked the means and motivation to pursue him in the proposed IFA locations.
The application for judicial review was dismissed.
