Section 44: Waiver of Penalty

The investigation officer may present an accused person cooperating with the investigation and inquiry proceedings as a prosecutor’s witness and may provide such person with a full or partial penalty waiver in the case initiated under this Act.

Provided that notwithstanding anything mentioned in this Act or in prevailing laws, a lawsuit may be reregistered against such person if his cooperation could not be corroborated by other evidence or if such accused makes a statement before the adjudicating officer against the cooperation extended to the investigation and inquiry officer.
