According to Section 47 of PERA Act 2024, the maximum punishment for misuse of authority by an enforcement officer or employee is 6 months imprisonment, a fine of Rs. 1 lakh, or both. This section is designed to hold officers accountable for abuse of power and ensure that enforcement is conducted fairly and legally.
The law clearly sets the punishment to deter officers from acting beyond their legal authority or misusing their position. Lesser penalties, such as 3 months jail or fine only, do not align with Section 47, and imprisonment for 1 year exceeds the maximum prescribed limit.
By defining strict penalties, Section 47 reinforces accountability, integrity, and compliance within the enforcement system, deterring misconduct and protecting the public from abuse of power under the PERA Act 2024.
