Madras Court Upholds Elderly Privacy in Guardianship Case

A man in Madras had a stroke and his family is arguing about who can take care of him and his money.

The elder son wants the court to make him the guardian.

The court said it can’t just decide that the man is not mentally fit based on family claims.

It must do a proper medical check.

The court also said that the old law about guardianship still applies.

It wants the family to try talking it out before the court gets involved.

The judge said privacy is very important and the court will look at the facts carefully.
