AS and others (Sikh, Risk on Return, KK Followed) Afghanistan: IAT 31 Dec 2004

IAT Appeals from decisions of adjudicators, either dismissing or allowing asylum and human rights appeals by Sikh citizens of Afghanistan. The relevant point of law is whether the adjudicator’s decision was in accordance with the view since reached by the Tribunal on the situation facing such persons on return, regardless of their personal history or circumstances, in KK [2004] UKIAT 00258, described by the Tribunal in the course of that decision as ‘the irreducible minimum case’. It is neither desirable nor in accordance with the law for there to be different competing views amongst the appellate authorities on such cases, whether or not there was any apparent error of law on the face of the adjudicator’s decision as and when given: see Shirazi [2003] EWCA Civ 1562.
