I am a senior citizen aged 62 years, am married for the last 32 years a retired ENT surgeon and was working in the Gulf for the last 28 years. i have 3 children one son 30 years a canadian nationality and 2 daughters aged 25 and 27 years ,staying with my wife. my daughters have fallen into bad company and have vices like smoking hukka and staying out of house for days together and when reprimanded they become abusive and tell me to mind my business as they have grown up. My wife has filed a Domestic violence case against me in the Pune Cantonment Court and the court has passed a exparte order restraining me from dispossesing or disturbing the possessions of my wife from the shared household that is my Row House. They have somehow tried to impress on the judge that my younger daughter is getting married and all the ornaments and clothes are in the Row house and they have no place to stay. I have given a separate well furnished 2 bedroom flat to my wife and secondly,she is getting 1 lakh INR rental from my Dubai flat which she has transferred in her name . I have given my wife and children all the best i could to the best of my ability. We somoto appeared before the court and gave all details of the flat given by me and the rent documents about the rent received by her and the also all the investments and mutual funds in the wife"s name. The court has passed an order giving notice to my wife and asking them to give her say on all the documents and proofs given by me. My wife and children have always been very abusive, violent, ill=mannered , disrespectful towards to me. Approximately 2 monhts back i lodged a Police complaint to the Police Commissioner of Pune and the P I Kondwa , Pune for locking the Row House from inside and not allowing me to enter inside. When the Police opened the door , my daughter broke my eyeglasses and assaulted me in front of the police officers and this was factually reported by the Pune Times Mirror Newspaper. Police did investigation that all allegations against me and the Police,which were made by my wife and daughters are false.. My QUESTION: Can I restrain my wife and children from entering my Row House? If they enter, they will lodge false complaints against me and try to throw me out of my Row House, what should i do now?
First answer received in 10 minutes.
Lawyers are available now to answer your questions.

2. File a NC in the police station and if they use force then lodge a complaint under the provisions of Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act
Regards
Dear Sir,
My answers are as follows:
Can I restrain my wife and children from entering my Row House?
Ans: Since you have already given sufficient properties to your wife and children as such the court may consider and vacate order passed against you. If not vacated such order and not given exclusive possession of such property to you then approach High Court.
If they enter, they will lodge false complaints against me and try to throw me out of my Row House, what should i do now?
Ans: Just approach High Court and it will believe police report and give necessary protection to you. You may take benefits of following law by filing complaint before SDO.

1) you can obtain court orders restraining your wife and daughters from entering your row house
2) mention she already has flat in her name in Pune and also getting rentals of Rs one lakh per month
Sir file a complaint against the children's in the Senior citizen welfare and maintenance act and they can be restrained from entering the house .
Sir you van take injunction order against them.permanently from the civil court also so they are restrained from entering your property.
Wife has no right of share in the property owned by husband though she has right of residence in the property owned or taken on rent by him.
So if this row house is owned by you then you can not stop her from entering into your house nor the court will come in your aid on this issue.
Though you can psychically restrain from entering into your house , your wife can seek residence order in a case filed under PWDV Act.
So persuade your wife not to come to your house and resolve the dispute amicably.
1. If your wife is the co-owner of the said row house, then it will be legally difficut for you to get an order restraining the entry of your wife in to the said house.
2. You can lodge a polce complaint now alleging that your wife has trheatned you yo lodge false police complaint against you to harass you.
3. If she lodges any false police complaint, you shall have to deal wirth the same accordingly as per law.
You may move a petition in the High Court against your wife and daughters with the facts for the direction of the High Court in case High Court directs your wife and daughter not to stay in your row house and they have to stay in the flat provided for this purpose this may solve your problem the police may not be very effective without the court directions
Since you have already given sufficient properties to your wife and children as such the court may consider and vacate order passed against you. If not vacated such order and not given exclusive possession of such property to you then approach High Court.
File a NC in the police station and if they use force then lodge a complaint under the provisions of Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act
Yes Sir, I have read your case in the Newspaper and it was shown on TV also that in a doctor was through out of house.
You can take help of oldage law which will help you to fit against them and they can't through yout out of house.
Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007
Protection of life and property of Senior citizen
If a senior citizen after the commencement of this Act, has transferred his property either moveable or immovable, by way of gift or otherwise, subject to the condition that the transferee shall provide him basic amenities and physical needs and thereafter such transferee reuses or fails to provide such promise, such transfer of property shall be deemed to have been made by fraud, coercion or undue influence and the Tribunal can declare such transfer as void.[18] Before the enactment of this law, a senior citizen's only remedy in such a case was to approach the court for maintenance from the children to whom he had given the property by way of gift or otherwise and such property would be the exclusive property of the transferee and the senior citizen had no right in such property. But after the enactment of this Act, a senior citizen can reclaim his property from the transferee.[19] The concerned police personnel will also ensure priority in dealing with these types of cases.[20] Representation by lawyers are prohibited under section 17 of this Act. However the Hon'ble Kerala High Court held that legal practitioners also could represent cases under this Act.[21]
Abandoning a senior citizen in any place by a person who is having the care or protection of such senior citizen is a criminal offence and such person shall be punishable with imprisonment for a term which may extend to three months or fine which may extend to five thousand rupees or both.[22]
This Act also provides that state governments may establish old age homes at least one in one district to accommodate indigent senior citizens. State governments may also ensure proper medical care for senior citizens.
Since the property is on your name you can file a permanent injunction suit restraining them from interfering in your possession and enjoyment and an interim injunction on the same lines till the disposal of this suit.
You can file a divorce case on the grounds of cruelty and also till then you may arrange an alternative accommodation to your wife and unmarried daughters.
