2017 (8) TMI 1016 - HC - FEMAProvision of Section 78 of the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act, 1973 and Section 44 of the Act applicability - Held that:- The petitioner who had come to India from foreign country, wanted that their NRI Account/FCNR Account may be continued in the same status. It was a kind of privilege claimed. Such status could be accorded only within the permissible parameters and in accordance with law by the Reserve Bank of India. It is difficult to conceive that the petitioners' claim to maintain status of FCNR Account could be asserted as enforceable right. It was only a kind of benefit offered to such class of persons. The petitioners cannot enjoy such benefit when they did not comply with the conditions. For all the aforesaid reasons and grounds, the petition is bereft of merits. No relief is liable to be granted to the petitioner. Therefore, the petition is dismissed with cost of ₹ 20,000/- which shall be deposited by the petitioner with Gujarat High Court Legal Aid Committee on or before 31st August, 2017 and the receipt shall be produced with the Registry. Rule stands discharged.
