2017 (2) TMI 518 - HC - FEMAProsecution under FERA - Acquirng foreign exchange without previous general or special permission from RBI from persons not being authorised dealers in foreign exchange and deposited the amounts in a bank account outside India - Complaint under Sections 8(1), 9(1)(a) and 14 of the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act, 1973 - HELD THAT:- On perusal of the letter written by the respondent, the contention of the respondent that he is not the citizen of India and he will not come under the purview of FERA is not at all acceptable. In view of the above circumstances, this court is of the considered view that there are so many incriminating materials available to presume that the respondent would have committed the offences and he is liable to be charged under Sections 8(1) and 9(1)(a) of FERA, 1973. The trial court, in the considered view of this court, without considering the materials available on record, has come to the conclusion that there is no incriminating materials available in this case in prima facie for framing charges under Section 8(1) of FERA & 9(1)(a) of FERA. Hence, the impugned order passed by the trial court is liable to set aside and accordingly, the same is set aside.
