Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim. The evidence submitted under the 'awards' criterion, such as research grants, academic scholarships, and research fellowships, was determined not to be prizes or awards for excellence but rather funding for future research, support for students, or a form of employment. Other honors were considered too old to demonstrate sustained acclaim or lacked evidence of national significance.
