Wrong order by SDM in senior citizens act on wrong fact and good faith

Dear Client,
From the contents of the query, it seems that you have already filed an appeal before the Appellate Authority under the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007, challenging the order of the maintenance tribunal presided over by the SDM, which is now pending before the Appellate Authority. So, now it is advisable to wait for the final order of the Appellate Authority, and if it upholds the judgement of the maintenance tribunal, you can file a writ petition before the High Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India seeking appropriate relief in the matter. As regards the false statements made before a Court or Tribunal, be informed that giving false evidence/statement on oath in court is a criminal offense and is punishable under Section 191 of the IPC, which was replaced by Section 227 of the Bharatiya Naya Sanhita(BNS), 2023. The Apex Court in the case of Afzal & Anr. V. State Of Haryana, 1996, held that a false and misleading statement deliberately and wilfully made by a party to the proceedings to obtain a favorable order amounts to prejudice or interference with the due course of judicial proceedings, and it will amount to criminal contempt. So, in the given scenario, you can file a criminal contempt case against your adopted mother, who made a false statement about ownership of the property before the Civil Court and the Maintenance Tribunal. If required, consult with an experienced Advocate for tailored advice and steps to navigate the matter in the right way.
