AT determined appellant violated FEMA, 1999 by illegally possessing unaccounted foreign currency without authorization from RBI. The tribunal found appellant's explanation for foreign currency possession unconvincing and identified mala fide intentions.

The appeal was dismissed, and the Adjudicating Authority's original order was fully upheld.
