The Chhattisgarh Vibhageeya Janch (Sakshiyo Ka Hazir Karyaya Jana Tatha Dastavezon Ka Pesh Karaya Jana) Adhiniyam, 1979

This Act provides the legal framework for conducting departmental inquiries within the State of Madhya Pradesh. It empowers inquiring authorities to summon witnesses and demand the production of documents, effectively granting them powers similar to a civil court. Crucially, it ensures that any person—whether a government servant or a private individual—called to testify is entitled to reimbursement for travel and daily expenses. The Act applies to inquiries involving public servants, state-controlled bodies, and government companies, ensuring that the investigative process is both authoritative and fair by compensating those who assist in the pursuit of truth.
