Judicial review dismissed; RAD reasonably found the applicant had a viable internal flight alternative in Jaipur.
The applicant sought judicial review of a decision by the Refugee Appeal Division (RAD) rejecting his appeal.
The applicant, a citizen of India, feared persecution from the father of a woman he loved, who allegedly used local police to harass him.
The RAD found the applicant had a viable internal flight alternative (IFA) in Jaipur, Rajasthan.
The Federal Court concluded the RAD's analysis of the IFA test was reasonable, noting that the applicant was asking the court to reweigh evidence or rely on speculation regarding whether his parents would reveal his location to police or if his extra-judicial arrest would be reported in databases.
The application for judicial review was dismissed.
