Bombay HC Quashes Sons' Eviction: Father Failed to Prove Inability to Maintain Himself

  • Bombay High Court set aside an eviction order against two sons under the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007.
  • The court ruled that the Act applies only when a senior citizen proves an inability to maintain themselves, which the father failed to do.
  • Justice Somasekhar Sundaresan quashed the tribunal's decision, noting the father was receiving a pension and hadn't detailed his expenses.
  • The High Court clarified that not every conflict between a senior citizen and offspring falls under the Act's remedial jurisdiction.
  • The father and sons lived separately, and the property was not occupied by the senior citizen, leading to the quashing of the eviction.
