Case Summary: M/S Opera House Exports Ltd. v. Union of India (Crl.A. 1451-1455/2014) The Supreme Court allowed Opera House Exports Ltd.'s appeals, setting aside the High Court and Tribunal's dismissals on limitation grounds. The company was charged with FERA violations for failing to realize export bills (1991-1998, Rs.1,38,09,274/-). The Tribunal rejected the appeal as filed 89 days after adjudication (within 90-day limit under FERA §52), citing inability to condone delay. The Court held that FEMA's more lenient provisions (45-day limit with wider condonation powers) apply to appeals filed after FEMA's 2000 commencement, even for pre-repeal proceedings. The case was remitted to the Tribunal for merit-based reconsideration. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
