A.Dear Client,
While I sympathize with your plight concerning your aged mother, In the given situation, it is to inform that to protect your mama from harassment and humiliation from your Mami, reach out to the office of SDM or DM of the concerned Sub-Division or District to file an application before the Maintenance Tribunal presided over by the SDM/DM u/s.5 of Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Sr. Citizens Act, 2007 and rules made thereunder explaining therein the nature and details of harassment and humiliation facing by your mama in the hand of your Mami. This benevolent act is exclusively enacted for the protection of the safety and security of Sr.Citizens who are being harassed and abused by their children/family members in her sunset years to lead a life with dignity and peace. No Advocate is allowed in the proceedings to represent the case either on behalf of Sr. Citizens or OP, erring children/relatives. Moreover, if any Sr. Citizen is unable to represent his or her grievance, there are Social Service Officer to assist the Sr. Citizen to represent the case suitably before the Maintenance Tribunal and after hearing both parties Tribunal is empowered to pass an order of maintenance for a sum upto Rs.10,000/-pm including order of eviction of erring children/relaative from the property belongs to Sr. Citizens/Parents.
