Section 5, Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007 | Maintenance Tribunal May Order Eviction of Adult Children to Secure Parental Dignity and Safety : Rajasthan HC
The Rajasthan High Court has affirmed that Maintenance Tribunals possess the authority to order eviction of adult children from a senior parent’s property when their conduct threatens the parent’s physical safety, mental well-being, or right to peaceful habitation. This ruling transforms eviction from a civil remedy into a statutory tool for enforcing dignity under the 2007 Act, setting a critical precedent for elderly protection across India.
