Case Summary: C. Sampath Kumar v. The Enforcement Officer Note: The judgment provided is for C. SAMPATH KUMAR v. THE ENFORCEMENT OFFICER (Supreme Court, 16/09/1997), not the W.P.(C) No. 000056/1997 case specified in your request. Decision: The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal, upholding the High Court's judgment. The Court ruled that under Section 40 of the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act, 1973, an Enforcement Officer may lawfully require a summoned person to give written statements and sign them. The Court found no evidence of "compulsion" in recording the appellant's statements and held that administering statutory caution regarding truthfulness is not coercive pressure but protects the declarant's interests.
