Mr Govindarajan is a citizen of India born in 1976. On 25 March 2014 a decision was made by the Secretary of State to refuse to vary his leave to remain as a Tier 1 (General) Migrant and to remove by way of directions. His application was made on 21 January 2014.
Although in proceedings before me the Appellant is the Secretary of State, for convenience I retain the designations as they were before the First-tier Tribunal, thus, Mr Govindarajan is the Appellant and the Secretary of State, the Respondent.
Further, the Respondent expressed concerns in the decision in respect of the legitimacy of the earnings claimed as income from his business trading as 'M Power'. It was stated that during his interview he was asked about how he was paid and the payment period he gave his customers, but that he failed to specify how these arrangements were made. He did not specify the agents he referred to in his interview or the reasons for delays in payment. The Respondent was unable to determine the payment process for his trading and considered that he had failed to detail the involvement of these agencies.
The Respondent was also concerned with the business relationship he had with his accountant.
Following a hearing at Hatton Cross on 25 November 2014 Judge of the First tier Sieffert allowed the appeal.
