The Rajasthan Rehabilitation Of Beggars Or Indigents (Amendment) Act, 2020
Criminal20202 sections
This amendment updates how authorities handle individuals who beg and are found to be mentally unwell in Rajasthan. When a medical examination confirms a person is mentally unsound, the rehabilitation officer is required to transfer them to a psychiatric hospital rather than placing them in a standard rehabilitation home. This update ensures vulnerable citizens receive necessary medical treatment under federal mental health laws instead of general confinement, thereby improving the care and rights of mentally ill beggars.
