Judgment
Lord Justice Dyson:
This is the judgment of the court.
The Secretary of State appeals against the decision of the AIT promulgated on 10 July 2006. The respondent has since returned to India. The Secretary of State wished to challenge the AIT’s reasoning. That reasoning was the subject of argument in the appeal of Ahmed Iram Ishtiaq and is considered in the judgments handed down today in the appeal in that case.
In these circumstances, the Secretary of State’s appeal in the present case is academic and no useful purpose would be served in giving a substantive judgment in it. We intend simply to make no order.
