When and to whom an appeal may be preferred against the order of adjudication of confiscation, under the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act, 2010?

Answer & Explanation:

Section 31 of the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act, 2010 deals with appeals and provides that any person aggrieved by any order made under section 29 of the Act may prefer an appeal, where the order has been made by the Court of Session, to the High Court to which such Court is subordinate; or where the order has been made by any officer specified, to the Court of Session within the local limits of whose jurisdiction such order of adjudication of confiscation was made, within one month from the date of communication to such person of the order. Further the Appellate Court may, if it is satisfied that the appellant was prevented by sufficient cause from preferring the appeal within the said period of one month, allow such appeal to be preferred within a further period of one month, but not thereafter. Every appeal preferred under this section shall be deemed to be an appeal from an original decree and the provisions of Order XLI of the First Schedule to the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, shall, as far as may be, apply thereto as they apply to an appeal from an original decree.
