2014 (4) TMI 466 - HC - FEMACondonation of delay - decision to file appeal was taken at various levels which consumed valuable time - Held that:- Apparently, the present appeal has been filed after an inordinate delay of 775 days. Section 35 of FEMA permits the appeal to be filed within 60 days from the date of communication of the decision or order of the Appellate Tribunal on any question of law arising out of such order. The proviso authorises High Courts to extend the appeal to be filed within next 60 days, if it is satisfied that the appellant was prevented by sufficient cause from filing the appeal. Since the impugned order was passed by the Appellate Tribunal constituted under FEMA, in my view, the provisions of Section 35 of the FEMA are attracted and the period of limitation for filing the appeal cannot be extended beyond 120 days - Condonation denied.
