In Brief
The Supreme Court allowed an appeal by the Central Bureau of Investigation against the High Court's order quashing an FIR and cognizance taken under the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act, 2010. The High Court had dismissed the revision petition without issuing notice to the respondent. The Court held that while a revisional authority must issue notice before passing adverse orders, quashing proceedings entirely without notice is improper. The matter was remitted to the High Court to reconsider the revision petition afresh on its merits after giving the respondent an opportunity to be heard.
