Habitual residence is distinct from domicile and depends on actual, bona fide residence with settled continuity, assessed from the quality, purpose and duration of residence. On the record, the applicant had lived and worked in Dubai for years, held residential status there, and the agreements and notices reflected that position; his family's residence in India did not negate that status.
