Under Section 53 of the PERA Act 2024, where can a complaint for misuse of authority be filed?

According to Section 53 of the PERA Act 2024, a complaint regarding misuse of authority by any officer under the Act can be filed directly with the Grievance Redressal Commissioner. This provision ensures that there is a dedicated authority to investigate and address grievances related to abuse of power, promoting accountability and integrity in the enforcement system.

The Grievance Redressal Commissioner reviews the complaint, evaluates the facts, and takes appropriate action to rectify the situation or recommend further measures. Filing such complaints with enforcement officers, magistrates, or other authorities is not permitted under this section, ensuring that grievances are handled within the structured framework of the PERA Force Laws.

By designating the Grievance Redressal Commissioner, the PERA Act guarantees fair, transparent, and timely redressal of complaints, safeguarding the rights of officers, complainants, and the public, and reinforcing trust in the enforcement process.
