According to the PERA Force Laws, any offence committed under the Act is triable by a Magistrate under Section 14-A of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC). This means that enforcement officers, when detecting violations, must follow the legally established process by presenting the case before the designated Magistrate who has authority to try these offences.
This provision ensures that offences are handled judicially and systematically, allowing for fair trial, proper evaluation of evidence, and lawful imposition of penalties or corrective measures. Other courts, such as civil courts, sessions courts, or district courts, do not have jurisdiction over PERA offences unless explicitly stated by law.
By specifying the Magistrate under Section 14-A CrPC, the PERA Act ensures accountability, procedural integrity, and enforcement efficiency, providing a clear legal pathway for prosecution and resolution of offences under the law.
