State Act
Section 53. Delinquent child undergoing sentence at the commencement of the 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This Act was repealed on a date we do not have by Central Act 53 of 1986 (as printed under the copy's title); it may still apply to matters that began before then.
53. Delinquent child undergoing sentence at the commencement of the Act.— In any area in which this Act is brought into force, the Government may direct that a delinquent child who is undergoing any sentence of imprisonment at the commencement of this Act shall, in lieu of undergoing such sentence, be sent to a special school or be kept in safe custody in such place and manner as the Government think fit, for the remainder of the period of the sentence; and the provisions of this Act shall apply to the child as if he had been ordered by a children's court to be sent to such special school or as the case may be, ordered to be detained under sub-section (2) of section 21.
