Key legal question
Whether the settlement permit could be revoked for false declarations or concealment of essential facts.
Extracted holding
Yes. The declaration that no separation was envisaged was false in light of the rapid divorce sequence and the marriage was found to be a scheme to secure residence status.
Extracted reasoning
The chronology, the implausibility of the stated divorce motives, the age gap, and the spouses' own statements supported the inference that the marriage was never a genuinely lived conjugal union.
