Delhi High Court Upholds Senior Citizens' Right to Evict Children from Property
The Delhi High Court upheld the validity of Rule 22(3)(1) of the Delhi Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Rules, 2009, allowing senior citizens to seek eviction of children or legal heirs from their property in cases of non-maintenance or ill-treatment. The court ruled that this provision aligns with the Senior Citizens Act, 2007, and dismissed a daughter-in-law's challenge against her eviction from her mother-in-law's property. The court emphasized balancing senior citizens' rights with the residence rights of daughters-in-law in shared households.
