The man who repeatedly assaulted his girlfriend will be expelled from New Zealand after the High Court refuses to hear his final complaint.
The man, who can only be called JW, came from India to New Zealand in 2013 and was granted residence in 2016.
In October 2018, a man was convicted of seven male-female assaults and one blunt or weapons assault. He was sentenced to 10 months of house arrest.
The man told authorities that his girlfriend was “aggressive and dominant,” which led to their fight.

* A man who strangles, slaps, and threatens his wife to escape deportation
* The man was told to leave New Zealand after being convicted of eight convictions for attacking his partner.
* The man was ordered to leave New Zealand after allegedly raping his girlfriend during the blockade of Covid-19.
He also said he was “angry and dominated” as well and had previously been convicted of two convictions for assaulting another partner who threatened to make false threats of abuse.
JW was issued a Deportation Liability Notice because the crime was committed within two years of his residence.
Retaliation
The Domestic Violence Amendment Act came into effect on December 3. It admitted that strangulation, forced marriage, and assault on family members were criminal. (First edition in December 2018)
He appealed it to the Immigration Court, but was refused.
He then went to the Court of Appeals and asked for a vacation to appeal the court’s decision to the High Court.
He also sought leave to apply for a judicial review of the decision.
JW said the court did not take into account all his evidence, including his mental health problems and the mental health support available in India, when he ruled that he should be deported. ..
He also said the decision was unreasonable because he relied on Sikh interpreters who “could not successfully interpret from English to Punjabi and vice versa.”
As a result, he said the court misunderstood “cultural differences.”
The Court of Appeals rejected both JW’s applications, alleging that the court did not prove that it had made a factual error. Nor was there any basis for his claim that it was unfair or “acted in an unreasonable or unreasonable way.”
It ruled that the issue he raised was not of general or public significance and had no reason to be considered by the High Court.
This decision means that JW will run out of all means to appeal through the legal system and will be deported.
