In the case of a juvenile or the child, whose ordinary place of residence lies outside the jurisdiction of the competent authority before which he is brought, the competent authority may, if satisfied, after due inquiry that it is expedient so to do, send the juvenile or the child back to a relative or other person who is fit and willing to receive him at his ordinary place of residence and exercise proper care and control over him, notwithstanding that such place of residence is outside the jurisdiction of the competent authority, and the competent authority exercising jurisdiction over the place to which the juvenile or the child is sent shall in respect of any matter arising subsequently have the same powers in relation to the juvenile or the child as if the original order had been passed by itself.

Section 50 refers to those juveniles and children who reside outside the territorial jurisdiction of the competent authority before which they are brought for inquiry. In such a case if the competent authority is satisfied after due inquiry that it would be in the interest of justice to send the juvenile or child back to his place of residence or to his relative who is willing to receive and look after him, he would be handed over to the care and control of such relative.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
When such juvenile or child comes to the place of his residence, the competent authority having jurisdiction over that place shall have the same powers in relation to the said juvenile or child, as if the original order was passed by himself.
