Act no. 3 of 19731973RepealedKerala (State Act)

This Act was repealed on a date we do not have by Central Act 53 of 1986 (as printed under the copy's title); it may still apply to matters that began before then.

27. Sittings etc., of children's courts.—(1) A children's court shall hold its sittings at such place, on such day and in such manner, as may be prescribed. (2) A magistrate empowered to exercise the powers of a children's court under sub-section (2) of section 6 shall, while holding any inquiry regarding a child under this Act, as far as practicable, sit in a building or room different from that in which the ordinary sittings of civil and criminal courts are held, or on different days or at times different from those at which the ordinary sittings of such courts are held.
