SC Upholds Eviction of Son & Daughter-in-Law from Elderly Man's Property

The Supreme Court upheld the eviction order against the appellant's son and daughter-in-law from his self-acquired property, Preeti Rest House. The appellant, a 75-year-old retired Junior Engineer, had filed for eviction under the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007, after his son and daughter-in-law occupied the property without consent and harassed him. The Patna High Court’s Division Bench had overturned the order, citing lack of jurisdiction. The Supreme Court restored the eviction order, emphasizing the Tribunal's authority to protect senior citizens’ welfare and the respondents' misconduct. They were directed to vacate the property by May 31, 2025.
