General20256 sections

The Puducherry Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Act, 2025, aims to improve the ease of doing business and living by shifting minor regulatory offenses from criminal courts to an administrative adjudication process. It empowers designated Adjudicating Officers to conduct inquiries and impose penalties, replacing traditional prosecution for technical violations. The Act introduces a structured appeal mechanism to the Secretary of the concerned department and ensures penalty recovery through land revenue procedures. By rationalizing fines and providing a clear, time-bound dispute resolution framework, the Act fosters trust between the government and citizens while ensuring compliance with various state statutes.
