The Mental Healthcare Act, 2017 — back to Table of Contents
Section 92. Absence without leave or discharge
If any person to whom section 103 applies absents himself without leave or without discharge from the mental health establishment, he shall be taken into protection by any Police Officer at the request of the medical officer or mental health professional in-charge of the mental health establishment and shall be sent back to the mental health establishment immediately.
Note: This is a cross-reference as printed in the Act; the provision on prisoners with mental illness is set out at section 103.
