ORDER

Summary The court (Add.C.J.M. Court, Ahmedabad) acquitted the defendants (M/s. S.C. Chemicals and Shri Sevantilal C. Shah) in this foreign exchange violation case. The prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the defendants contravened Sections 18(2), 18(3), and 68 of the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act, 1973, and Section 49(3)(4) of the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999. The court found insufficient evidence that the castor oil export proceeds were deliberately retained abroad in violation of foreign exchange regulations, and acquitted the defendants accordingly. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
