Bombay High Court Directs Son, Daughter-In-Law To Vacate Their 88-Yr-Old Mother's Flat, Pay Monthly Maintenance

The Bombay High Court recently upheld an order of the Senior Citizens Welfare Tribunal (tribunal) directing a man to pay monthly maintenance as well as handover a flat to his 88-year-old mother.

The court, in a writ petition challenging the tribunal's order, held that the petitioners had no legal right to the flat and they cannot evict the mother to take exclusive advantage of the same.

The division bench of Justice S. V. Gangapurwala and Justice R. N. Laddha however, reduced the maintenance amount as it was not in accordance with Section 9(2) of the Maintenance And Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act 2007 (Act).

Case no. – Writ Petition (L) No. 25744 of 2022
Case title – Hemant Gamanlal Mehta v. State of Maharashtra and Ors.
