This Supreme Court of India judgment addresses a legal dispute regarding the Maintenance and Welfare of the Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007. The case involves a mother who sought to void a gift deed after her son allegedly failed to fulfill his promise to provide for her basic needs. While a lower court initially supported the mother, a Division Bench later overturned that decision, leading to this final appeal. The Supreme Court emphasized that beneficial legislation intended to protect the elderly must be interpreted broadly to fulfill its social purpose. Ultimately, the Court set aside the High Court's order, effectively canceling the property transfer to ensure the mother's protection and maintenance. The ruling clarifies that tribunals have the authority to restore property possession to senior citizens to prevent their neglect.
