Maintenance Tribunal Cannot Order Eviction Under Senior Citizens Act Without Valid Maintenance Claim | Bombay High Court Clarifies Jurisdictional Limits
The Bombay High Court ruled that eviction orders under the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007, are invalid unless tied to a legitimate maintenance claim. The judgment restricts Maintenance Tribunals from adjudicating property disputes, reinforcing that eviction powers are ancillary to maintenance obligations. This decision impacts senior citizens seeking eviction of relatives and sets a precedent for jurisdictional boundaries under the Act.
