Indian doctor in Australia escapes deportation
Monday, 06 May 2013 | PTI | Melbourne
A 36-year-old Indian doctor, convicted of sexually assaulting a patient while working at an Australian hospital, has walked free after winning an appeal against his deportation.
Suhail Durani had been held at an immigration detention centre in Perth since his release from Casuarina prison in February, where he served more than 18 months jail for indecently assaulting a patient at Royal Perth Hospital.
He was taken to the centre on the day he left Casuarina after federal immigration authorities terminated his visa. He then lodged an appeal with the Administrative Appeals Tribunal to fight the deportation order, saying he should not be separated from his family.
In its review of the decision, the tribunal ruled the doctor should be allowed to keep his visa, the ABC News reported.
It stated if he was deported to India, his four-year-old son's social, emotional and general wellbeing would be substantially affected.
The tribunal said it "has no doubt that cancellation of the visa is not in the best interests of the child."
The tribunal also found it's "most unlikely" Durani would commit any serious offence again.
The review also included a statement from his wife Falaq. She said she was afraid if her husband did not stay in Australia it would be traumatic for her family.
Durani says he is happy to be reunited with his family. His registration as a doctor in Western Australia lapsed while he was in detention.
Durani says he plans to ask the medical board for his registration to be renewed.
