Under the Punjab Enforcement and Regulation Act, 2024 (commonly referred to in questions relating to the Hoarding Act and enforcement framework), if a whistleblower disclosure is found to be false, frivolous, or vexatious, the concerned authority issues a show-cause notice to the whistleblower. The person must submit a written reply within 15 days from the date of receiving the notice. After considering the reply and providing an opportunity of being heard, the Hearing Officer decides whether the disclosure was genuinely false or frivolous and may impose the prescribed penalty if warranted.
