Section 23 MWPS Act | Property Transfers Before 29.09.2008 Cannot Be Invalidated Retrospectively : Madras HC

Madras High Court rules that Section 23 of the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007, operates prospectively, protecting property transfers executed before its commencement date. The judgment clarifies that senior citizens cannot challenge pre-2008 settlement deeds under this provision, reinforcing legal certainty in property disputes involving elderly parents.
