Who can file a representation under Section 51?

According to Section 51 of the PERA Act 2024, a representation can be filed either by the offender or by the complainant involved in a matter under the Act. This provision allows both parties to formally present their perspective, provide evidence, or seek review before the competent authority makes a final decision.

The law ensures procedural fairness and transparency by allowing those directly affected by enforcement actions or inquiries to be heard. Neither enforcement officers acting on their own nor the government alone can file such representations; it is specifically designed to protect the rights of the offender and the complainant.

By enabling offenders and complainants to file representations, the PERA Act strengthens accountability, justice, and integrity in the enforcement system. This mechanism ensures that decisions are made after considering all relevant inputs, fostering trust and confidence in the PERA Force Laws.
