2015 (8) TMI 1105 - HC - FEMAContravention of Section 18 (2) of the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act, 1973 - non-realization of export proceeds - Held that:- Although Section 68 FERA is in the nature of a deeming provision, the proviso thereto contemplates rebuttal of such presumption by a person who is able to show that the contravention took place without his or her knowledge. - memorandum is a cyclostyled form and the averments as regards all the directors is identical. There is no specific mention of the precise role of the Appellant in managing the day-to-day affairs of the company. The case of the Appellant is different from that of Mr. Dinkar Dogra. Prior to Mr. L.R. Sridhar taking over the management of the company, Mr. Dinkar Dogra was the managing director. The order dated 4th June 2008 passed by this Court dismissing Mr. Dinkar Dogra's Criminal Appeal [2008 (6) TMI 579 - DELHI HIGH COURT] discusses in detail the evidence showing Mr. Dogra to be incharge of the day-to-day affairs of the company. There is no evidence to show in what manner the present Appellant, Mrs. Kavita Dogra was responsible to the company for the conduct of its business. As already noticed, neither the adjudication order nor the impugned order of the AT discusses the facts peculiar to the Appellant. - Court is, therefore, satisfied that the DoE failed to make out a case of contravention of Section 18 (2) FERA as far as the Appellant was concerned. Neither the adjudication order nor the order of the AT in her case are sustainable in law. - Decided in favour of appellant.
