According to the Punjab Enforcement and Regulation Act 2024, a person is disqualified from becoming an independent member if he has held a public office or served as a public servant during the last six months. This condition is included to make sure that independent members are free from recent government influence or bias. By setting a clear cooling-off period, the Act protects the independence and neutrality of the Authority. It ensures that those appointed as independent members can perform their role fairly, without any conflict of interest linked to recent public service.
