Section 46 of PERA Act 2024 refers to which type of offence?

Section 46 of PERA Act 2024 specifically addresses impersonation offences, where a person deliberately pretends to be another individual, such as a PERA officer, with the intent to deceive or mislead enforcement authorities.

This section ensures that false personation is treated as a criminal act, protecting the authority and integrity of enforcement processes under the PERA Act. Unlike civil offences, corruption, or encroachment, the focus here is on pretending to be an officer or authorized individual to obstruct enforcement, commit fraud, or gain undue advantage.

By defining impersonation as an offence, Section 46 strengthens legal accountability, deters misrepresentation, and maintains the integrity of PERA enforcement proceedings, ensuring compliance and proper conduct by all individuals interacting with enforcement authorities.
