Delhi High Court Orders Father to Return Daughter's PPF Funds in Legal Dispute
A legal dispute arose when a father withdrew over Rs 8 lakh from a PPF account he had opened in his minor daughter's name, using the funds for her maintenance. The daughter sued, alleging financial strain and misuse of the money amid her parents' separation. The Delhi High Court upheld a lower court's ruling ordering the father to return the entire corpus with interest, stating he cannot use the funds to meet his personal maintenance obligations.
