The court declared the refugee applicant's appeal admissible and annulled the immigration authority's refusal to grant a residence permit. The applicant argued she faced persecution in Sri Lanka and required specific care, while the state claimed adequate reception was available. The court found the state failed to substantiate its claim regarding safe care arrangements, particularly for women from the Jaffna region.
