Notwithstanding anything contained in any other written law, whether enacted before or after the commencement of this Act, the Public Prosecutor shall have power to require any public officer within such time as he may specify to furnish such information in relation to any person, question or matter as in the opinion of the Public Prosecutor will be useful for, or relevant to, the purposes of this Act, and such public officer shall be legally bound to furnish the same to the Public Prosecutor within the specified time.

Where any public officer furnishes any information under subsection (1) he shall not on such account be liable to any prosecution for any offence under or by virtue of any law, or to any proceeding or claim in any form or of any description by any person under or by virtue of any law, or under or by virtue of any contract, agreement or arrangement, whether express or implied, or otherwise howsoever.
