As per Supreme Court judgement, if the house is a self acquired property of your father then no one has any right or claim over it and your brother or any one can live inthat house as per his pleasure.

2. Please consult a civil lawyer of your area and take necessary step to protect your father ‘s interest.

आपको परेशान होने की कोई आवश्यकता नहीं है। भारत सरकार ने वृद्ध नागरिकों के लिए कानून बनाया है, जिसके तहत वो अपने बच्चों को ना सिर्फ अपनी सम्पत्ति से बाहर कर सकते हैं, बल्कि उनसे अपने लिए भरण-पोषण भी मांग सकते हैं।

अच्छी बात यह है कि यह सब करने के लिए उनको बार-बार कोर्ट के चक्कर भी नहीं काटने होंगे।

The answer lies with the High court if the house is owned by the father to get the house vacated by both of them. The petition should also include the physical and mental harassment by son and daughter in law.

The HC may order the son and his wife to find a place to live.

By this they will be having ground to save them self from any legal problem in any untoward incident.

1. If there is a threat made to kill you then you and your father should go to the nearest police station to file a FIR for criminal intimidation under Section 506 IPC and also seek police protection.

2. You have said that they are living in your home. If the house is owned by your father then he can file a suit for eviction of his son and daughter-in-law who have no right to reside therein without the consent of the owner.

In case your parents(senior citizens) are being physically assaulted by your brother, they should take police assistance and at anytime any sort of atrocity is meted out to them, they should not hesitate in summoning the Police.

Your father is also having the option of disinheriting his son from all of his property. Thus, he is free to disown his son and daughter in law.

Your mother is also having the option to move a complaint before the women helpline cell of UP Police and at anytime the need arises, she can move a complaint under Domestic Violence ACt.

In the given situation, if the house property is in your father's name then he should file an injunction suit to restrain them from entering into the house and also to eject them out if they still reside inside the house.

Alternately you may take them to our house and take care of them to protect their life from the possible assaults from your sister in law.
