  47. Transfer of children of unsound mind or suffering from
  
  leprosy
  (1) Where it appears
  
  to the Administrator that any child kept in a special school or children's home
  
  in pursuance of this Act is suffering from leprosy or is of unsound mind, the
  
  Administrator may order his removal to a leper asylum or mental hospital or
  
  other place of safe custody for being kept there for the remainder of the term
  
  for which he has to be kept in custody under the orders of the competent
  
  authority or for such further period as may be certified by a medical officer
  
  to be necessary for the proper treatment of the child.
  (2) Where it appears
  
  to the Administrator that the child is cured of leprosy or of unsoundness of
  
  mind, he may, if the child is still liable to be kept in custody, order the
  
  person having charge of the child to send him to the special school or
  
  children's home from which he was removed or, if the child is no longer liable
  
  to be kept in custody, order him to be discharged.
