Decides as follows:

THE FACTS

The applicant is a British citizen, born in 1961 in

Bangladesh, and she resides in Luton, Bedfordshire, in the United

Kingdom. In the proceedings before the Commission she is represented

by Messrs. Hafiz and Co., Solicitors, London.

The applicant has been married to a Bangladeshi citizen for

nine years. She originally complained to the Commission of the

refusal of British immigration authorities to grant entry clearance to

her husband for him to join her and their two children in the United

Kingdom. However, after a review of his case, the Government granted

the husband leave to enter the United Kingdom.

PROCEEDINGS BEFORE THE COMMISSION

The application was introduced on 2 November 1987 and

registered on 13 January 1988. After a preliminary examination of the

case by the Rapporteur, the Commission considered the admissibility of

the application on 14 December 1988. It decided to give notice of the

application to the respondent Government, pursuant to Rule 42 para. 2

(b) of the Rules of Procedure, and to invite them to submit their

observations on the admissibility and merits of the application.

However, on 14 April 1989 the Government informed the Commission that

a further review of the applicant's case had been made and that the

Home Secretary had decided to grant the applicant's husband leave to

enter the United Kingdom. In response to this decision, the applicant

informed the Commission on 4 July 1989 that she wished to withdraw the

case.

REASONS FOR THE DECISION

The Commission notes that the applicant's husband has been

granted entry clearance to join his family in the United Kingdom. It

finds no reasons of a general character affecting the observance of

the Convention which require the further examination of this case.

Accordingly it accedes to the applicant's request to withdraw her

application to the Commission.

For these reasons, the Commission

DECIDES TO STRIKE THE APPLICATION OFF ITS LIST OF CASES.
