What does Section 46 of PERA Act 2024 deal with?

Section 46 of PERA Act 2024 specifically deals with false personation, which occurs when a person deliberately assumes the identity of another individual in order to deceive enforcement authorities or gain an unlawful advantage.

This section is crucial for safeguarding the integrity of enforcement proceedings under the PERA Act. By penalizing false personation, the law ensures that individuals cannot mislead officers, obstruct justice, or compromise the legal process. Unlike offences related to false documents, property claims, or false witnesses, false personation targets the act of pretending to be someone else to manipulate enforcement actions or evade accountability.

By defining and penalizing false personation, Section 46 strengthens legal accountability, compliance, and enforcement integrity, ensuring that all persons act truthfully and transparently during proceedings under the PERA Act 2024.
