Non-confirmation of FEMA seizure prevents adjudicators from overriding pending appellate findings on recorded reasons and suspected foreign asset hold...
The HC held that the non-grant of NOC by the ED was unjustified. The petitioners complied with FEMA valuation norms by engaging a SEBI-registered merchant banker.

Prolonged investigation without conclusion cannot restrict the petitioners' right to make investments. The authorized dealer banks must ensure FEMA compliance, and regulatory safeguards remain applicable irrespective of the issuance of LOC.
