If an individual wants to lodge a complaint, under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, against a public servant and such individual is an illiterate, whether the ACB has a facility to write the complaint, what the complainant dictates, on behalf of such individual?
This discussion clarifies that illiterate individuals can lodge complaints against public servants under the Prevention of Corruption Act. The ACB (Anti-Corruption Bureau) provides assistance to help complainants write down their statements, ensuring that illiteracy does not prevent access to constitutional remedies. While complaints are individual matters, the ACB aids in the process and ensures proper investigation by the relevant agency.

Complaint is always made individually but the investigation is to be conducted by the relevant investigating agency. ACB also helps the complainant to move the complaint in proper way similarly as all other similar agencies do.

please contact ACB they are in a better position to elaborate the procedure. As far as law is concerned an illiterate person does not loose his right to constitutional remedies.
