Maintenance and Welfare of Parents Act | Eviction of Abusive Adult Children Permissible to Uphold Senior Citizens' Dignity : Rajasthan HC

The Rajasthan High Court ruled that senior citizens can evict abusive adult children from their property under the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007, prioritizing the elderly's right to dignified living over familial entitlement. The judgment reinforces that ownership rights and dignity supersede mere residence claims where misconduct is proven.
