DECISION
Application no. 30422/14
Zukhra Abdullayevna SALIKHOVA
against Russia
The European Court of Human Rights (Third Section), sitting on 12 December 2017 as a Committee composed of:
Luis López Guerra, President,
Dmitry Dedov,
Jolien Schukking, judges,
and Fatoş Aracı, Deputy Section Registrar,
Having regard to the above application lodged on 2 April 2014,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The applicant, Ms Zukhra Abdullayevna Salikhova, is a national of Uzbekistan, who was born in 1972 and lives in Yoshkar-Ola. She was represented before the Court by Ms S.A. Toreyeva, a lawyer practising in Yoshkar-Ola.
The applicant complained under Article 8 of the Convention that the decision of the Yoshkar-Ola Town Court of 18 September 2013 ordering her administrative removal from Russia with the subsequent five-year re‑entry ban had violated her right to respect for family life.
On 12 June 2014 the above-mentioned complaint was communicated to the Russian Government (“the Government”), who were represented by Mr G. Matyushkin, Representative of the Russian Federation to the European Court of Human Rights, and then by his successor in that office, Mr M. Galperin.
On 15 September 2014 the Government submitted their observations on the admissibility and merits of the application, which were forwarded to the applicant. She was invited to submit her observations by 21 November 2014. On 15 January 2015, the Government submitted their further observations.
On 28 June 2017, under Rule 49 § 2 of the Rules of Court, the judge rapporteur decided that further factual information was required from the applicant. The applicant was invited to submit the requested information by 19 July 2017. Her attention was drawn to Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention, which provides that the Court may strike a case out of its list of cases where the circumstances lead to the conclusion that the applicant does not intend to pursue the application.
The applicant’s representative received that letter and on 25 July 2017 requested the Court that the time-limit for the submission of the requested information be extended until 1 September 2017. On 27 July 2017, the Court granted the extension as requested. On 13 September 2017 the Court sent the applicant’s representatives a reminder that the requested information had not been provided despite the extended time-limit. No reply was received to the Registry’s correspondence.
THE LAW
The Court considers that, in these circumstances, the applicant may be regarded as no longer wishing to pursue her application, within the meaning of Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention. Furthermore, in accordance with Article 37 § 1 in fine, the Court finds no special circumstances regarding respect for human rights as defined in the Convention and its Protocols which require the continued examination of the case.
In view of the above, it is appropriate to strike the case out of the list.
For these reasons, the Court, unanimously,
Decides to strike the application out of its list of cases.
Done in English and notified in writing on 11 January 2018.
