An act has  been passed by the central government which states that parents can take back their property if children do not take care of them. File an application before the collector.

Now the problems of Senior citizens can be resolved immediately under the latest Act i.e. Senior Citizens Act.  You please contact any of the local advocate and ask him to file necessary application before Sub Divisional Magistrate(SDO) seeking an injunction order against the son.

The following judgment may be refer;

Elderly parents can take back a share in their property given to a son as a gift if he fails to look after them or harasses them, the Bombay high court has ruled

Elderly Parents Can Take Back Gifted Property From Son If Harassed: Bombay HC

If you refuse to take care of your elderly parents or misbehave with them, chances are that you will be losing your share of property gifted by your parents. In a new rule by Bombay high court, senior citizens can take back a share in their property given to a son as a gift if he ill-treats them.

Citing the special law for the maintenance of senior citizens, a division bench of Justices Ranjit More and Anuja Prabhudesai upheld a tribunal’s order that had canceled a gift deed given by an elderly Andheri resident by which he had granted 50% share in his flat to his son, as mentioned in a TOI report.

The judges said, “The gift deed was made at the request of the son and his wife. It is implied that the elderly father and as well his second wife would be looked after by them after transfer of 50% share in the flat.

While dismissing the petition filed by the son, the court said, “Obviously, the son and his wife though ready and willing to look after the father were unwilling to do so in respect of the second wife. In the above circumstances, we do not find any error in the order (canceling the gift deed), therefore, we are not inclined to entertain this petition.

The Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007 makes it a legal obligation for children and heirs to provide maintenance to senior citizens and parents, by monthly allowance. This Act also provides a simple, speedy and inexpensive mechanism for the protection of life and property of the older persons.

This act also has provisions that protect parents and elderly persons who have gifted their share of property or assets to their children so that they would be taken care of but are then left helpless.

If the share in the property by a senior citizen is transferred through a gift or deed to his/her children on the condition that their basic needs will be fulfilled, and the person refuses to maintain the agreement, then a maintenance tribunal is to be empowered to cancel the agreement.

In the present case, the senior citizen’s first wife died in 2014. Last year, when he wanted to remarry, his son and daughter-in-law requested that a share of the Andheri flat should be transferred to them. To buy peace in the family, he transferred 50% share in the flat to his son in May 2014. Subsequently, the son and daughter-in-law started insulting the elderly man’s second wife, as mentioned in the report.

- As per law , any transfer by way of Gift Deed of otherwise made by a senior citizen can be revoked for not providing the basic amenities , even if there is no specific clause in the transfer deed to provide for the senior citizen's welfare.

-  Father should file a Petition before Senior Citizens Tribunal to seek the cancellation of the said Gift Deed on the ground that he has been neglected by the donee i,e his son.

- Sure, he will get back the said property (factory business) on this ground.

- Further the senior citizen should file a Criminal petition for his maintenance under section 125 CRPC.

- As per law , a son is bound to take care of his father and to pay maintenance to him.

- In the begining of the case , Court will allow interim maintenance to him.

 

Good luck and dont forget to rating Positively.

Dear Client,

As per law, instead of demanding back the gifted property, the old aged should make a Complaint under section 125 of CRPC for demanding maintenance from the son.
