Section 157 - Legal Protection for Actions Taken Under the Act
Section 157 provides legal protection to various individuals involved in executing the responsibilities under the Act. It specifies that no legal action, such as a lawsuit or criminal prosecution, can be initiated against the President, State President, members, officers, or employees of the Appellate Tribunal, or any person authorized by the Tribunal, as long as their actions are performed in good faith according to the Act or its rules. Similarly, officers appointed or authorized under the Act are also shielded from legal proceedings for actions done in good faith. This section ensures that those executing their duties under the Act can do so without fear of legal repercussions, provided their intentions and actions are genuinely aimed at fulfilling the Act’s purposes.
