The Impugned Decision
6. The challenge noted above generated the impugned decision, which is dated 01 July 2014. By this decision the refusal of leave to remain in respect of all five Appellants was maintained. The Appellants were, simultaneously, formally notified of their vulnerability to removal from the United Kingdom. 7. It is necessary at this point to highlight the following, which is not contentious and is linked to [4] above: (a) The Secretary of State is proposing to remove the father and oldest daughter to India. (b) The Secretary of State is proposing to remove the mother and the other two children to Pakistan. In passing, while the Secretary of States written decision intimated an intention to remove the second child to India with her father, this was expressly modified by Mr Singh (representing the Secretary of State) on enquiry from the bench at the hearing. It follows that if the Secretary of State’s removal decisions are lawful the family will be fragmented, subject to our assessment and determination of certain nationality issues below.
