FEMA borrowing restrictions bind charitable trusts, and civil penalties apply without proving intent for delayed repayment of non-resident rupee loans...
Proof of service and acknowledgment of statutory summons are necessary to support an allegation of deliberate or wilful non-compliance during an investigation. Mere issuance of summons, without material establishing that the person concerned received and acknowledged them, does not establish intentional disobedience or evasion of appearance. On those facts, declining cognizance of the complaint was treated as free from jurisdictional error. Fresh summons may be issued where legally permissible, provided they are duly served and proof of service is maintained. No conclusion follows on the merits of the investigation or on any underlying liability or offence.
