Anti Corruption Establishment
Punjab is an Agency which is functioning under
the administrative control of Services General
Administration Department, Government of the
Punjab. Prior to present set up it was a small
cell headed by a superintendent of police under
the Home Department, Government of the West Pakistan
(from1947 to 1956). After inception of one unit
from 1956 to 1961, the Directorate of Anti-Corruption
was established with Regional offices at Hyderabad,
Lahore and Peshawar. Thereafter Anti-Corruption
Establishment was created under West Pakistan
Anti-Corruption establishment Ordinance, 1965
and the Punjab Anti-Corruption establishment
Rules 1974 were framed. Under these Rules, provincial,
Divisional District Committees were set
up to accord sanction for initiating and decision
of inquiries and cases. The Anti-Corruption Establishment
was re-organized, during 1985, making it an officer-Based
organization for decision making because the
previous system proved cumbersome and time consuming
in respect of seeking sanctions. Anti-Corruption
Establishment Rules, 1985 were framed in suppression
of ACE Rules, 1974. These Rules are in vogue
since then.
