A.Dear Client,
While I sympathize with your plight concerning the behavior of your errant and unruly son, this is to inform you that if you are a senior citizen and you want to protect yourself from harassment and humiliation from your unruley and abusive son, then reach out to the office of SDM or DM of the concerned Sub-Division or District to file an application u/s.5 of Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Sr. Citizens Act, 2007 and rules made thereunder before the Maintenance Tribunal presided over by the SDM/DM explaining therein the nature and details of harassment and humiliation faced by you in the hand of your errant son. 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 their 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 house/property belongs to Sr. Citizens/Parents. Delhi High Court has ruled that children who abuse their parents while staying with them in their house can be evicted from the property, The Hon'ble Court stated in its order that"the Sr. Citizens Act, 2007, amongst other remedies, provides for eviction of adult children in cases of parental abuse, like in the present case," and asked the SDM concerned and SHO, police station Civil lines, to ensure that the sons were evicted from the house immediately. Further, an Elder Help Line (No.14567) is launched by the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment exclusively for the protection of the interest of Sr. Citizens of the Country from any kind of crisis from health to wealth, you may take a chance by contacting them through helpline number to resolve the matter.
