Whom of the following has Suo-moto power regarding dropping of case or departmental action:

  • (A) DG ACE
  • (B) Home Secretary
  • (C) Chief Secretary
  • (D) Chief Minister
  • The Chief Minister has the authority to use his broadest power for his official duties when he needs to verify the validity of decisions made by any governmental unit through their official records which include active and concluded investigations. The different authorities possess oversight responsibilities which they exercise through their capacity to initiate investigations at various levels.
  • Chief Minister: Can take suo-moto notice of decisions made by any authority under the rules, including those involving high-ranking officials like Administrative Secretaries and BPS-21 officers.
  • The Chief Secretary possesses the authority to use suo-moto powers for examining all decisions which the Director General (DG) made.
  • The DG ACE possesses the authority to review all decisions which his subordinate officers made including those of the Additional Director.
  • The Home Secretary lacks the ability to use direct suo-moto powers for case dismissals under ACE Rules because his responsibilities primarily involve administrative tasks.
  • Important note: The Supreme Court of Pakistan imposed a suspension on specific sub-rules which exist under Rule 15 and Rule 10 in 2018 because they required ACE to obtain advance approval from the Chief Minister or Chief Secretary before starting investigations or stopping inquiries into senior bureaucrats. The establishment of the Anti-Corruption Establishment needed this measure to protect its operations from executive branch interference.
