National Assistance Act, 1948.
There was one case of compulsory removal under Section

an elderly man " being aged and infirm and living in insanitary
conditions and unable to devote to himself or receiving from
other persons proper care and attention." An order was made
by the Magistrate's Court for a period not exceeding three
months. The man in question was removed to Lynton Hospital,
