1997 (9) TMI 458 - SC - Companies LawIssuance of summons challenged - Held that:- Appeal dismissed. Despite giving opportunities to the appellant to file copies of those statements in this court to satisfy ourselves whether there was any element of "compulsion" visible from those statements, copies of those statements have been withheld for reasons best known to the appellant. As a matter of fact, copies of those statements ought to have been filed with the special leave petition itself. It is, therefore, not possible for us to assume that any "compulsion" was exercised by the respondent to force the appellant to give his statements in writing. Administration of caution to the person summoned under section 40 of the FERA that not making a truthful statement would be an offence cannot by any stretch of imagination be construed as use of "pressure" to "extract" the statement.
