NATIONAL ASSISTANCE ACT, 1948.
Section 47.
This Section of the Act gives powers to the local authority to
apply to a court of summary jurisdiction for an order for the compulsory
removal of any person suffering from chronic disease, or who is
aged, infirm or physically incapacitated, and who is living in insanitary
conditions and unable to devote to himself and not receiving from other
persons proper care and attention, to a suitable hospital or other place
in, or within convenient distance of, the area of the local authority,
and for his detention and maintenance therein. Before such application
is made, however, the medical officer of health must be satisfied.
