PERA Operation & Procedure Rules 2025 – Description
The Punjab Enforcement and Regulatory Authority (Operations & Procedures) Rules 2025 provide the detailed framework for implementing the Punjab Enforcement and Regulatory Authority Act. These rules define the powers, duties, and procedures of Enforcement Officers, Hearing Officers, the SDEO, and the Board.
They cover important aspects such as:
Issuance of notices and orders (EPOs, Absolute Orders, Show-cause notices).
Hearing procedures including ex-parte decisions, dismissal for default, and representation filing.
Interim relief and appeals to protect against irreparable loss.
Encroachment removal process (movable and immovable).
Board meetings, requisitions, and decision timelines for representations.
Enforcement mechanisms under Sections 36–40 of the Act.
These rules ensure transparency, fairness, and accountability in handling public nuisance, encroachments, and regulatory enforcement across Punjab.
📘 In short, the PERA Rules 2025 act as the operational manual for smooth functioning of the Authority, safeguarding public rights while empowering officers with clear legal procedures.
