In which year Public and Representative Office Disqualification Act 'PRODA' was promulgated?

The Public and Representative Office Disqualification Act (PRODA) was promulgated in 1949 by Pakistan's first Prime Minister, Liaquat Ali Khan. This law aimed to prevent individuals found guilty of misconduct from holding public office for up to 10 years. It was applied retrospectively from August 14, 1947, the day Pakistan gained independence. The law was controversial and often criticized for being used to target political opponents. In 1954, it was repealed due to its perceived partiality and incompatibility with democratic norms. Later, in March 1959, General Ayub Khan's martial law administration introduced the Public Offices Disqualification Order (PODO), which was subsequently replaced by the Elective Bodies Disqualification Order (EBDO) in August 1959. These new laws allowed for the disqualification or forced retirement of numerous politicians and civil servants, many of whom were never formally tried or convicted.
