Mumbai Tribunal Orders Son, Wife to Vacate Mother's Home
A Mumbai court told a son and his wife to move out of the mother's house because they were allegedly mistreating her.
The mother said they were mean to her and didn't respect her privacy.
The son said his wife was treated unfairly.
The court looked at all the evidence and decided the family shouldn't live together anymore, so they ordered the son and his family to leave the house within two months.
This decision was made under a law meant to protect senior citizens.
Mumbai Tribunal ordered Percy Patel and his wife to vacate the mother's home under the Senior Citizens Act.
Hutokshi Patel, the mother, alleged mental and physical distress caused by her son and daughter-in-law.
The order followed a case filed in April 2023, citing abuse and privacy violations.
