Indian Courts Rule on Family Property and Residence Rights in Separate Cases
Two recent Indian court rulings addressed family property and residence rights. The Madras High Court rejected sisters' claims to their late mother's property due to prolonged inactivity and evidentiary issues, affirming daughters' inheritance rights but emphasizing timely action. Separately, the Delhi High Court upheld an eviction order against a daughter-in-law, balancing senior citizens' protection under the Maintenance Act with women's residence rights under the Domestic Violence Act. Both cases highlight legal complexities in family property and housing disputes.
