**Background:**
Narayan Nath brought a case against Loretta E. Lynch, who served as the Attorney General of the United States at the time of the proceedings. The primary issue revolved around Nath's immigration status and the denial of his application for relief under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). Nath argued that the decision made by the immigration authorities was erroneous and unjust.

**Facts:**
- Nath, a native of [Country of Origin], entered the United States and encountered difficulties regarding his immigration status.
- He applied for relief under the INA, citing various personal hardships and circumstances that warranted an exception to standard immigration procedures.

**Arguments:**
- **Petitioner (Nath):** Argued that the immigration authorities failed to recognize the merits of his case, including humanitarian considerations that should have influenced their decision. He also contended that previous infractions should have been weighed less heavily given the totality of circumstances.
- **Respondent (Lynch):** Defended the actions of the immigration officials, asserting that the denial was appropriate and aligned with established legal standards. The response highlighted the necessity of upholding immigration laws and the importance of consistent application of the rules.
**Decision:**
The court ultimately ruled in favor of [Petitioner/Respondent], providing a detailed assessment of the evidence, legal standards applicable to cases of this nature, and a discussion regarding the exercise of discretion by immigration authorities.
