UP Cabinet Approves Amendments Allowing Parents to Evict Neglectful Children
The Uttar Pradesh Cabinet has approved amendments to the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Rules, allowing parents to evict children who neglect or abuse them. The new provisions establish a clear, time-bound eviction process, with complaints handled by district magistrates within 30 days. A toll-free number will assist senior citizens in filing complaints. The government aims to protect seniors' rights, ensure dignified lives, and encourage family respect. Additionally, court management rules were updated to improve judicial administration in the state.
