HC to hear Sukh Ram’s appeal against ₹1 cr penalty

The Delhi High Court set aside on Wednesday a single judge’s order and agreed to hear former telecom minister Sukh Ram’s appeal against a ₹1 crore penalty imposed on him for alleged violation of the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act. The order by a bench comprising Chief Justice G Rohini and Justice Sangita Dhingra Sehgal came on a plea by the former Union minister challenging a single judge’s order refusing to entertain his appeal on the ground that an alternative remedy was available under the Foreign Exchange Management Act.
