K.K Kuda vs Chief Enforcement Officer, ...

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the High Court's dismissal of a petition to quash a complaint under Section 56 of the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act, 1973 (FERA). The Court held that the allegations of consent and connivance had been dropped by the respondent, and thus the complaint's continuation based solely on negligence was improper, constituting an abuse of process. The Court emphasized that the composite nature of the allegations could not be severed, leading to the quashing of the complaint proceedings.
