Who can be punished under Section 47 of PERA Act 2024?

According to Section 47 of PERA Act 2024, only enforcement officers or employees can be punished for abuse of power. This section ensures that individuals entrusted with enforcement authority act responsibly and within the legal framework of the Act.

Abuse of power occurs when an officer acts beyond their legal powers, misuses authority, or violates the rights of individuals during enforcement procedures. The law does not target the general public, government ministers, or contractors under this section; it specifically holds accountable those responsible for enforcing PERA provisions.

By establishing liability for enforcement officers and employees, Section 47 promotes legal compliance, accountability, and integrity within the enforcement system, deterring misuse of authority and protecting public trust in PERA operations.
