  Chapter V Protection to the Persons Making Disclosure
  11. Safeguards against victimisation.
  1.    The
  
  Central Government shall ensure that no person or a public servant who has made
  
  a disclosure under this Act is victimised by initiation of any proceedings or
  
  otherwise merely on the ground that such person or a public servant had made a
  
  disclosure or rendered assistance in inquiry under this Act.
  2.   If any
  
  person is being victimised or likely to be victimised on the ground that he had
  
  filed a complaint or made disclosure or rendered assistance in inquiry under
  
  this Act, he may file an application before the Competent Authority seeking
  
  redress in the matter, and such authority shall take such action, as deemed fit
  
  and may give suitable directions to the concerned public servant or the public
  
  authority, as the case may be, to protect such person from being victimised or
  
  avoid his victimisation:
  Provided that the Competent Authority shall, before giving any
  
  such direction to the public authority or public servant, give an opportunity
  
  of hearing to the complainant and the public authority or public servant, as
  
  the case may be:
  Provided further that in any such hearing, the burden of proof
  
  that the alleged action on the part of the public authority is not
  
  victimisation, shall lie on the public authority.
  1.  
  
    
  2.  
  
    
  3.    Every
  
  direction given under sub-section (2) by the Competent Authority shall
  
  be binding upon the public servant or the public authority against whom the
  
  allegation of victimisation has been proved.
  4.    Notwithstanding
  
  anything contained in any other law for the time being in force, the power to
  
  give directions under sub-section (2 ), in relation to a public servant,
  
  shall include the power to direct the restoration of the public servant making
  
  the disclosure, to the status quo ante .
  5.    Any
  
  person who wilfully does not comply with the direction of the Competent
  
  Authority under sub-section (2 ), shall be liable to a penalty which may
  
  extend up to thirty thousand rupees.
