Section 23 Maintenance and Welfare of Parents Act | Mandamus Issued for Two-Week Disposal of Petition Seeking Settlement Deed Cancellation : Madurai HC
Madurai High Court directs the Sub-Collector to dispose of a petition under Section 23 of the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007 within two weeks, reinforcing the statutory duty to adjudicate senior citizens' property disputes expeditiously. The ruling underscores that administrative delays in such petitions violate the Act's intent and warrant judicial intervention via mandamus.
