Details required. Case law of SC vary from facts of each case. Mere payment of consideration by parents does not make them entitled to claim back property. Claim of parents can be challenged on several grounds. Consult with detail.

The Supreme Court has ruled that parents cannot take back land or property gifted to their children on the ground of ill-treatment by the offspring after they have received the gift.

If conditional gift deed is executed patents can claim the property if son is not taking care of aged parents 

 

2) if property was purchased in son name son  Is absolute owner of property and cannot be claimed by parents

If the sale deed is in the name of the children, then later parents do not have any right on such property.

The property bought on the names of the children shall be their own and absolute property.

The parents cannot claim title or ownership to the property by mere funding for the purchase of the property even if such funding is proved.

Since it is not a gift, then there is no grounds for the parents to claim the property just because they passed on sale consideration amount to the seller on behalf of the children.

It may have to be proved besides the it can be set aside as gift of money towards their children out of their love and affection.

If the transaction was more  than three years from the date preceding to the institution of law suit, then the claim for recovery of money is also barred by limitation

- As per law, after the property is registered in the name of children , then the parent has no right to claim over that property during the life time of children, even the child was minor at the time of registration and parent was a guardian therein. 

- However , the parent can file a declaration suit before the court for declaring himself as the owner of the property  after producing the evidence of fund payment for the purchase of that property in the name of child, but proving the case is not easy , and hence it is not possible .
