The High Court has upheld the decision to revoke a Bangladeshi national's permanent residence card after determining that his marriage to an EU citizen was one of convenience and that he provided misleading information to obtain residence rights. The applicant's marriage, which occurred shortly after his student visa expired, was scrutinised following his disclosure of the marriage's end. The court found that the evidence presented did not support the applicant's claims of his spouse exercising EU treaty rights in Ireland or of a genuine marital relationship. Consequently, the residence card was deemed invalid from the outset, and the revocation was affirmed based on regulations addressing abuse of rights and marriages of convenience.
