Delhi High Court upholds senior citizen's right to evict daughter-in-law over ill-treatment
The Delhi High Court has upheld a senior citizen's right to evict her daughter-in-law based on ill-treatment, interpreting the Delhi Senior Citizens Rules, 2009.
The court ruled that the 2009 rules allow eviction of children or legal heirs on grounds of non-maintenance or ill-treatment, even though the parent statute does not explicitly contain such a provision. The judgment clarifies the scope of protections available to elderly persons under the rules.
