The Entry Clearance Officer - Dhaka appeals with permission against the decision of the First-tier Tribunal (Judge Caswell) promulgated on 7 th April 2015, in which it allowed the Respondent's appeal against the ECO's refusal of 11 th May 2014 to grant him a certificate of right of abode in the UK.
For the purposes of this decision I shall herein after refer to Abu Thaher as "the Appellant" and the Entry Clearance Officer as "the Respondent" which reflects their respective positions before the FtT.
The Appellant was born on 1 st January 1991 and is a national of Bangladesh. He applied for a certificate of right of abode as the son of Salim Ullah, a British citizen. The Entry Clearance Officer refused the application primarily because he was not satisfied that the Appellant had provided satisfactory evidence of paternity.
By the Appellant's own account his father would have been almost 70 years of age at the time of the Appellant's birth; there was no real evidence of contact and furthermore the Appellant's father died a year after the Appellant's birth. It was always the case that the Appellant's mother counted as the Appellant's father's second wife. His father was married to a woman called Aymona Bibi. She resided in the UK along with her children, one of whom is a woman by the name of Begum Bibi (the Sponsor).
The Appellant produced DNA evidence. That showed a claimed relationship of half-sibling kinship with Begum Bibi.
