Analysis | The case is interesting for two points:
1. The Commission uses a very elaborate “even if” reasoning, stressing that the applicant has not explained clearly how he considers that there might have been a violation of the Convention and that he may not have exhausted all domestic remedies. The Commission, however, assumed in the applicant’s favour, that the facts of the case are as he wished the Adjudicator to accept them, that he has sent money from England to India
in support of his mother, his brother and his sister and that he has exhausted the domestic remedies. |
