SC Upholds Eviction of Son and Daughter-in-Law from Elderly Father's Property Under Senior Citizens Act

The Supreme Court confirmed the eviction of a son and daughter-in-law from a house owned by an elderly man under the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007.

The father had allowed them to live with him out of goodwill but later filed a complaint after they began harassing, abusing, and threatening him. 

Citing Section 23(1) of the Act and S. Vanitha v. Deputy Commissioner, the Court confirmed the Tribunal’s authority to evict. 

The Court ordered the premises to be vacated by May 31, 2025.
