2015 (7) TMI 1080 - HC - FEMALocus standi of the Director of Enforcement to maintain the present appeal before this CourT - Unauthorised acquisition of foreign exchange - Tribunal after examining the records, found that the charge against the respondent herein was not proved by the prosecution and agreed with the findings of the Adjudicating Authority and accordingly dismissed the Revision - Held that:- In the case in hand, admittedly no notification for appointing the Director of Enforcement as the competent authority for enforcing the provisions of the Act and delegating specific functions under the Act to him, was produced before us. Though the learned standing counsel for the appellant undertook to produce one such notification, he failed to do so. That shows, no notification was issued by the Central Government. Thus, in the absence of any notification passed by the Central Government for specifically empowering the Director of Enforcement to enforce the provisions of the Act and delegating him with specific functions under the Act, the appellant herein i.e., Director of Enforcement cannot be treated as aggrieved party and has no locus standi to file this appeal and the Civil Miscellaneous Appeal is hence liable to be dismissed on the ground of maintainability and the substantial question of law is accordingly answered against the appellant.
