Regulations

22. The Governor in Council may make Regulations with respect to any of the following purposes-

(a) for the management and maintenance of good order and discipline in reform school and approved residences and for enabling any person or authority in charge of a reform school or approved residence to issue such orders and directions as to such person or authority may seem fit for the maintenance of good order and discipline in such school or residence;

(b) for enabling such authority as may be specified, at any time during the period of detention of a child or young person in a reform school, to permit such child or person by licence in writing to live in an approved residence or with his parents or with such other person who is wiling to receive and take charge of him, subject to such conditions, to be specified in the licence (including in particular a condition that the child or young person affected shall be under the supervision of a probation officer) as such authority may think fit and to revoke any such licence at any time:

Provided always that, without the consent of the Governor, a licence shall not be granted during the first twelve months of the period of detention;

(c) for the investigation, including the taking of evidence on oath if necessary, by such authority as may be specified, of any breach or contravention of the Regulations or of any order or direction issued by the appropriate authority for the maintenance of good order and discipline in reform schools and approved residences, and for the punishment which may be imposed for any such breach or contravention;

(d) generally for the better carrying out of the purposes of this Law.
