Section 25

Any person who is guilty of an offence against this Act for which no penalty is expressly provided is liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $3,000, imprisonment for a term not exceeding one year or both.

Where any person is convicted of an offence under section 3, the court shall consider a report of a Government Medical Officer and if the court is satisfied that it is necessary for such person to undergo treatment or rehabilitation or both at an approved institution, the court shall in addition to any punishment it may lawfully impose make an order requiring that person to be admitted as a resident to an approved institution for the purpose of such treatment, rehabilitation or both.

Every person who has been admitted as a resident to an approved institution under subsection (2) shall be detained therein for a period of one year unless he is earlier discharged by an order of the Minister.
