GIS deports Indian businessman Ashok Sivaram Kumar

The Ghana Immigration Service has repatriated Ashok Sivaram Kumar, an Indian businessman to his home country on the grounds of expiration of his work and residence permits. 

In June, 2017, Mr. Ashok Kumar, took the Ghana Immigration Service to the High Court over the cancellation of his work and residence permits and subsequent deportation on the orders of the interior Minister.  

The High Court upheld Mr. Ashok Kumar's application and quashed his deportation order without making consequential orders.  

He again in September 2017 sought the order of the High Court to compel the Service to restore his work and residence permits which the court granted.  

The Ghana Immigration Service with the conviction it was right in revoking the permit of Mr. Ashok Kumar and that his continuous stay in the country was inimical to the security of the country filed a stay of execution among others through the Office of the Attorney General at the Supreme Court.  

The Supreme Court upheld the position of the Ghana Immigration Service and quashed the ruling of the High Court which had compelled it to restore the work and residence permits of Mr. Ashok Kumar. 

A statement signed by the Head of Public Affairs of the Ghana Immigration Service Superintendent Michael Amoako-Atta, said Mr. Ashok Kumar, has since been repatriated to his home country.  

The Service wishes to assure the public that it will continue to deliver on its mandate and ensure that the business environment is serene for all legitimate expatriates to conduct their business.
