First answer received in 30 minutes.
Lawyers are available now to answer your questions.
1) you know your father is paralytic and 85 years old .your brother refuses to take care of your father .
2) under such circumstances your decision to go abroad with your family permanently is absolutely wrong and cannot be justified under any circumstances . cancel your plans of going abroad and take care of your father .
3) if you go abroad and your father is not taken care of by your brother you will have to live with guilt complex all your life .
i m very much thankful your prompt answer,its absoultly right, but i have my own family my husband got long waiting job........
let your husband go abroad . you have some responsibilities towards your parents too . if he is an understanding husband he will in fact appreciate the sacrifice you are making for your father . you can go abroad on short visits .
in the alternative find any old age home which can take care of your father and offers decent medical treatment .
decision in this regard has to be taken by you ,whether you want a job or you want to take care of your father
Your father can proceed under

An application for maintenance under this Act can be made by:-
a) A senior citizen or a parent, as the case may be; or
b) If is incapable, by any other person or organization authorized by

The application for maintenance is to be filed before the Tribunal which is headed by the Sub-Divisional Officer.
Transfer of property by senior citizen can be declared to be void by the Tribunal where a senior citizen has transferred by way of gift or otherwise his property, subject to the condition that the transferee shall provide basic amenities and basic physical needs to the senior citizen, and such transferee has refused or fails to provide such amenities and physical needs, the transfer shall be deemed to have been obtained by fraud or
coercion or undue influence and shall at the option of the transferor be declared void by the Tribunal.
The punishment for abandonment of senior citizens and whether the offence is cognizable and bailable.

Hi, you have to take care of your father no legal remedy available in this case.
Very aptly advised by ld.Mr.Sethi. Nothing else to add.
You can make arrangement for your father in an old age home which are coming up in almost every city. These places are equipped with all facilities/necessities of old people.
u can leave your father in old age home. only the thing u have to pay for facilities
Dear Querist
there is no solution of your problem here because as you informed that your father is not willing to file any case against him then how the law save him. first of all try to convince him for filing case against you brother then file the same before court then only your father can get help otherwise not.
