Under which Section can the Government confer additional police powers on enforcement staff?

Under Section 24 of the PERA Force Laws, the Government holds the authority to confer additional police powers on members of the enforcement staff. This provision ensures that the enforcement personnel possess adequate powers to perform their duties effectively, especially in situations where standard enforcement authority may not be sufficient to maintain law and order or ensure compliance with scheduled laws.

The conferral of these additional powers by the Government strengthens the operational capacity of the Enforcement Squad, allowing them to act swiftly and decisively when handling violations. Such powers may include arrest authority, search and seizure, or other functions similar to those of police officers, depending on the nature of enforcement needs prescribed under the Act.

By enabling this legal empowerment under Section 24, the PERA Force Laws create a bridge between administrative enforcement and active policing authority. This ensures that enforcement actions are not only lawful but also effective in dealing with serious non-compliance cases.

The Government’s discretion to grant such powers is exercised with checks and balances to prevent misuse, ensuring that enforcement staff remain accountable while performing their enhanced roles. In essence, Section 24 of the PERA Force Laws provides flexibility to the state, ensuring that enforcement remains robust, responsive, and well-equipped to uphold the law.
