Section 18. Short leave of absence to inmates of Rehabilitation Homes

The Rehabilitation Homes are open Homes and there is no compulsion for inmates to be forced to stay. The Superintendent may, therefore on cause being shown, grant permission in writing to an inmate to absent himself/herself for any period for the purpose of visiting his parents or relatives or attending to any domestic work. The attempt should however be to ensure full de-addiction/and training in a skill such that the beggar becomes self sufficient.
