When appeal must be filed according to FARA?

According to Foreign Exchange Regulation Act, every appeal must be filed within forty-five days from the date on which the copy of the order made by the Adjudicating Authority is received by the aggrieved person and it shall be in such form verified in such manner and be accompanied by such fee as may be prescribed. However, the Special Director (Ap­peals) may entertain an appeal after the expiry of the said period of forty-five days if he is satisfied that there was sufficient cause for not filing it within that period.

On receipt of an appeal, the Special Director (Appeals) may after giving the parties to the appeal an opportunity of being heard, pass such order thereon as he thinks fit confirming, modifying or setting aside the order appealed against.

The Special Director (Appeals) shall send a copy of every order made by him to the parties to appeal and to the concerned Adjudicating Authority.

Every Special Director (Appeals) shall have the same powers of a civil court and :-d. All proceedings before it shall be deemed to be judicial proceedings within the meaning of sections 193 and 228 of the Indian Penal Code; e. Shall be deemed to be a civil court for the purposes of sections 345 and 346 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973.

The Central Government shall, by notification, establish an Appellate Tribunal to be known as the Appellate Tribunal for Foreign Exchange to hear appeals against the orders of the Adjudicating Authorities and the Special Director (Appeals) under this Act.

The Central Government or any person aggrieved by an order made by the Adjudicating Authority or Special Director (Appeals), may prefer an appeal to the Appellate Tribunal.

However, any person appealing against the order of the Adjudicating Authority or the Special Director (Appeals) levying any penalty, shall while filing the appeal, deposit the amount of such penalty with such authority as may be notified by the Central Government. Where in any particular case, the Appellate Tribunal is of the opinion that the deposit of such penalty would cause undue hardship to such person, the Appellate Tribunal may dispense with such deposit subject to such conditions as it may deem fit to impose so as to safeguard the realization of penalty.

An appeal to the Appellate Tribunal must be filed within a period of forty-five days from the date on which a copy of the order made by the Adjudicating Authority or the Special Director (Appeals) is received by the aggrieved person or by the Central Government and it shall be in such form, verified in such manner and be accompanied by such fee as may be prescribed. The Appellate Tribunal may entertain an appeal after the expiry of the said period of forty-five days if it is satisfied that there was sufficient cause for not filing it within that period.

On receipt of an appeal, the Appellate Tribunal may, after giving the parties to the appeal an opportunity of being heard, pass such orders thereon as it thinks fit, confirming, modifying or setting aside the order appealed against.

The Appellate Tribunal shall send a copy of every order made by it to the parties to the appeal and to the concerned Adjudicat­ing Authority or the Special Director (Appeals), as the case may be.

The appeal filed before the Appellate Tribunal shall be so dealt with by it as expeditiously as possible and endeavour shall be made by it to dispose the appeal finally within one hundred and eighty days from the date of receipt of the appeal. Where any appeal could not be disposed oft’ within the said period of one hundred and eighty days, the Appellate Tribunal shall record its reasons in writing for not disposing off the appeal within the said period.

The Appellate Tribunal may, for the purpose of examining the legality, propriety or correctness of any order made by the Adjudicating Authority in relation to any proceeding, on its own motion or otherwise, call for the records of such proceed­ings and make such order in the case as it thinks fit.
