The case will now return to the tribunal for a new hearing.
Convictions and Legal Background
Ahmed arrived in Scotland in 2002 and was first convicted in 2008 for unlawful sexual intercourse with a girl aged 13 to 16.
He received a probation order and community service. In 2013, he was convicted again for a similar offence and sentenced to three years and six months in prison. He was also placed on the Sex Offenders Register indefinitely.
Following his second conviction, the UK Home Office issued a deportation order. Then-Home Secretary Theresa May supported the order, insisting any appeals be made from Pakistan.
Ahmed argued that removal would violate his Article 8 rights under the European Convention on Human Rights, which protects the right to family life, as he has a wife and child in the UK.
Despite losing multiple appeals, Ahmed remained in the country, and his most recent legal victory means his case will continue to be reviewed.
