• Son threatening old parents

Hi,

My elder relative is in trouble. They live in rohtak.
Man is old having age of 70 yrs old and his wife is paralytic for last 5 years and cannot speak.

They are living with thier son and wife but thier son and wife misbehave and threaten them a lot. Last time they left home and send them legal notice to leave house. But after thier son further request, they went back to same home and living with them now.

Now again they are behaving wrongly and threatning them.
Old age parents want to leave home but their son is not allowing them forcefully as he thinks that if they go this time, then will file case for property. Since his mother is paralytic and cannot speak he is not allowing her to go and threatning parents. Father can leave home but he dont want to leave his paralytic wife with them.

What can we do now to get them out of house? They are old and cannot much act by themselves..

What legal action that can be taken... through police and court...And how much time it will take??

Any friend of them or relative can complaint to the Collector under Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007 and seek protection from police to leave the house. They can also get a order of payment monthly maintenance from their son. If there is any property gifted by them to son the same can be recovered from him. Son will be ordered to make a separate arrangement for them to reside and provide maintenance.

The elderly parents have to firmly decide to leave the place or make their son to leave their house property.

If they are forcibly stopped by their son, they may have to lodge a criminal complaint against their son or approach the senior citizens welfare tribunal and seek a direction to evict their son who ill-treats them and torturing them 

Until they decide to take any action they cannot be rescued from this situation.

If need be they can take the help of any close relative to assist them to take proper legal steps as per law in this regard

1. The parents should immediately file a criminal complaint and get a FIR registered against them.

2. Additionally, the father can file a complaint before Senior Citizens Tribunal to get the son and his wife evicted.

File a case under the senior citizens act for their eviction.

File an FIR against them so that the police may take adequate action against them.

He should leave the house if he wants. He should file a petition in the high court and the high court will issue appropriate orders to tge police which will accompany them.
