Who can directly register an FIR if the offence is clearly evident?

According to the PERA Force Laws, when an offence is clearly evident, the Sub-Divisional Enforcement Officer (SDEO) has the authority to directly register an FIR without waiting for further recommendations or procedural steps. This provision allows the enforcement system to act promptly and efficiently in cases where the violation is obvious, preventing delays in legal action.

Direct FIR registration by the SDEO ensures swift enforcement and accountability. Other officers, the Board, Hearing Officers, or complainants themselves cannot directly register an FIR under this provision; the law specifically entrusts this power to the SDEO.

This mechanism strengthens transparency, procedural integrity, and the rule of law by allowing immediate action against offences while maintaining structured oversight. It ensures that evident violations are promptly documented and investigated, upholding the efficiency and credibility of the PERA enforcement system.
