Section 338:
Procedure where lunatic detained is declared fit to be released.
(1) If such person is detained under
the provisions of sub-section (2) of section 330, or section 335, 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 lunatic asylum if he has not been already sent to such an asylum; and, in case it orders him to
be transferred to an asylum, may appoint a Commission, consisting of a Judicial and two medical officers.
(2) Such Commission shall make a formal inquiry into the state of mind of such 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.
