Elderly persons are not being looked after by their kin due to the withering of the joint family system, the Bombay High Court said on Tuesday while ordering a man to vacate his mother's home illegally occupied by him and his wife.
A division bench of Justices Girish Kulkarni and Firdosh Pooniwalla noted that ageing has become a major social challenge and hence there is a need to give more attention to the care and protection of senior citizens.
The Bombay High Court today ordered a man and his wife to vacate his elderly mother s house observing that it was unfortunate that the mother, in her twilight years, was ousted from her house by her.
