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This Act was repealed on a date we do not have by Central Act 53 of 1986 (as printed under the copy's title); it may still apply to matters that began before then.

40. Power to amend orders.— (1) Without prejudice to the provisions for appeal and revision under this Act, any competent authority may, either on its own motion or on an application received in this behalf, amend any order as to the institution to which a child is to be sent or as to the person under whose care or supervision a child is to be placed under this Act. (2) Clerical mistakes in orders passed by a competent authority or errors arising therein from any accidental slip or omission may, at any time, be corrected by the competent authority either on its own motion or on an application received in this behalf.
