<h1>Section 16 FEMA: Adjudicating Authorities' Appointment, Fair Hearings, and Civil Court Powers in Inquiry Processes</h1> Section 16 of the FEMA outlines the appointment and functions of Adjudicating Authorities responsible for inquiries into alleged contraventions of the Act. The Central Government appoints these authorities, who must provide the accused a fair hearing before imposing penalties. If the accused is likely to abscond, authorities may require a bond or guarantee. Various officers are designated to handle cases based on monetary limits. Inquiries can only commence upon a written complaint by an authorized officer. Adjudicating Authorities have civil court powers, must conduct inquiries expediently, and record reasons for any delays beyond one year.
