NAGOYA - The Nagoya District Court ruled Thursday that a Filipino man who overstayed in Japan can remain in the country, nullifying the local immigration bureau's decision that he be deported.

The Nagoya immigration office issued a statement saying that it will "review the ruling carefully and decide future steps in consultation with the Justice Ministry."

According to the ruling, the 34-year-old man came to Japan in March 2006 on a short-term visa, which he overstayed. In March 2010, he married a Philippine citizen who was previously married to a Japanese national, living with her and her children from the previous marriage.

The man turned himself in to the Nagoya Regional Immigration Bureau in June that year and sought special permission to stay, but his request was turned down. He received a deportation order in December 2011.

Presiding Judge Akiyo Fukui said the immigration bureau chief's rejection "made light of his matrimonial relationship with the legally staying wife with a permanent residence permit, as well as the family situation in which he was supporting her children from the previous marriage."
