Section 377.   Procedure where person of unsound mind detained is declared fit to be released.

(1) If a person with mental illness is detained under the provisions of
sub-section (2) of section 369, or section 374, and such Inspector-General or visitors shall
certify that, in his or their judgment, he may be released without danger of his doing injury
to himself or to any other person, the State Government may thereupon order him to be
released, or to be detained in custody, or to be transferred to a public mental health
establishment if he has not been already sent to such establishment; and, in case it orders
him to be transferred to public mental health establishment, may appoint a Commission,
consisting of a Judicial and two medical officers.

person, take such evidence as is necessary, and shall report to the State Government, which
may order his release or detention as it thinks fit.
