His claims were rejected by the Court of Appeal (pictured), who said his scars were a &#8216;ruse&#8217;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It added that a \u2018cooperative and clandestine\u2019 doctor might have put him under general anaesthetic while the heated iron rods were placed on him.<\/p>\n<p>In a 22,000-word appeal ruling, one of the country\u2019s most senior judges, Lord Justice Sales, questioned why the 35-year-old man had not experienced any significant infection as a result of the burning.<\/p>\n<p>The judge said an earlier immigration tribunal which threw out the man\u2019s asylums claim was justified in highlighting the \u2018highly unusual\u2019 type of scarring as a \u2018central implausibility\u2019 in his account.<\/p>\n<p>It also raised doubts about his relationship with the Tamil Tigers and his alleged detention and escape from the country.<\/p>\n<p>The man arrived in the UK on a fake passport six years ago before claiming asylum. He is thought to have racked up enormous legal bills at taxpayers\u2019 expense in his desperate bid to avoid deportation.<\/p>\n<p>He claims that he was detained in the aftermath of a Tamil Tigers attack on Colombo airport in 2007 over possible links to the organisation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lord Justice Sales questioned the man&#8217;s relationship with the Tamil Tigers and his alleged detention and escape from the country<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>His alleged torture occurred in August 2009, where it was claimed he \u2018felt intense pain from the first burn\u2019 before falling unconscious while receiving other burns.In support of his torture claim, he produced a medical report from a professor that backed the theory.<\/p>\n<p>The man also claimed he would face \u2018a real risk of persecution\u2019 if deported because authorities would regard him as having been \u2018actively involved\u2019 with the Tamil Tigers.<\/p>\n<p>Dismissing his appeal, Lord Justice Sales said the earlier tribunal hearing \u2013 which rejected the asylum seeker\u2019s claims \u2013 had \u2018conscientiously balanced the probabilities of infliction of the scarring by SIBP and by torture\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>It was entitled to assess that SIBP was the \u2018only real possibility\u2019 that could not be discounted, he added.<\/p>\n<p>In a majority decision, Lord Justice Sales and another senior judge, Lord Justice Patten, rejected the challenge by the claimant, identified only by the initials KV.<\/p>\n<p>It was not clear last night if he planned to make a final appeal to the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n<p>The Ministry of Justice refused to confirm whether he is receiving legal aid.<\/p>\n<p>The Home Office declined to say whether he is in custody pending the outcome of the legal proceedings.<\/p>\n<p>Read more:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-4434446\/Asylum-seeker-Sri-Lanka-let-tortured.html#ixzz4ewtRIHxz\">http:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-4434446\/Asylum-seeker-Sri-Lanka-let-tortured.html#ixzz4ewtRIHxz<\/a><br \/>\nFollow us:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/ec.tynt.com\/b\/rw?id=bBOTTqvd0r3Pooab7jrHcU&amp;u=MailOnline\">@MailOnline on Twitter<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/ec.tynt.com\/b\/rf?id=bBOTTqvd0r3Pooab7jrHcU&amp;u=DailyMail\">DailyMail on Facebook<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is the google group of the Strategy, Battle and Military Study Group of the Royal Asiatic Society of Sri Lanka.<br \/>\n&#8212;<br \/>\nYou received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups &#8220;Strategy, Battle &amp; Military Study Group &#8211; RASSL&#8221; group.<br \/>\nTo unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to <a href=\"mailto:bmsg-rassl+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com\">bmsg-rassl+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com<\/a>.<br \/>\nTo post to this group, send email to <a href=\"mailto:bmsg-rassl@googlegroups.com\">bmsg-rassl@googlegroups.com<\/a>.<br \/>\nVisit this group at <a href=\"https:\/\/groups.google.com\/group\/bmsg-rassl\">https:\/\/groups.google.com\/group\/bmsg-rassl<\/a>.<br \/>\nFor more options, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/groups.google.com\/d\/optout\">https:\/\/groups.google.com\/d\/optout<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Chula Rajapakse MNZM Spokesperson, United Sri Lanka Association\u00a0 Rt Hon Bill English, Prime Minister of New Zealand.
