Criminal19483 sections

This legislation amends the Police Act of 1861 to strengthen disciplinary procedures for police personnel. It modifies section seven to allow the dismissal, suspension, or reduction of rank to be applied either by rank or within a time-scale, and introduces the power to stop increments. Additionally, the Act repeals the Police (Punjab Amendment) Act of 1947, effectively removing previous amendments to the law. This change provides clearer guidelines for managing police service conditions and disciplinary actions in East Punjab.
