Thereafter, the Court after recording her stand on kidnapping shall release her on such bonds as it may found fit and proper. The assessment of age shall be periodically checked by the Officer of Rehabilitation Centre/Help Line, and if it is found that on the date of review the girl concerned has attained/about to attain majority, the records be sent to the Court concerned for acting as mentioned above.
