Comment:
Where the Child Welfare Committee finds that the child brought before it hails from the place outside its (Committee’s) jurisdiction, it may order the transfer of that child to the competent authority having jurisdiction over the place where the child resides.
During the transfer of such child, he or she will be duly escorted by any member of the staff of the Home in which he was initially lodged.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
The child so transferred may be paid travelling allowance if the State Government has so provided in the rules framed under the Act.
