No Interim Bail For Twisha Sharma's Husband, Cops Announce Rs 10,000 Reward ndtv.com/india-news/no-…



▪️Delhi HC, while upholding an order directing a daughter-in-law and her son to vacate a property owned by her in-laws, held that “right of residence in a shared household” under DV Act does not confer ownership rights over the property and cannot override the rights of senior citizens to peacefully live in their own home. ▪️The dispute arose after the death of the woman’s husband, following which she continued residing at her in-laws’ property along with her son. Over a period of time, relations between the parties deteriorated, leading to continuous discord and an acrimonious atmosphere within the household. ▪️As tensions escalated, the elderly in-laws repeatedly requested the woman and her son to vacate the premises. However, despite their requests, the duo continued to stay in the property. ▪️The elderly couple subsequently invoked the provisions of Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007, alleging ill-treatment and seeking eviction of daughter-in-law and her son from the property exclusively owned by them. ▪️The matter eventually reached Delhi HC in an appeal filed by the woman challenging the eviction order. The court examined the interplay between DV Act and rights guaranteed to senior citizens under Senior Citizens Act. ▪️The court held that where cohabitation has become impossible and relations have irretrievably broken down, the rights of senior citizens must be given due consideration. ▪️While directing the mother-son duo to vacate the property, High Court also protected their interests by ordering that possession of another property owned by the in-laws be handed over to them as alternate accommodation. ▪️The court observed that such balancing was necessary to ensure the dignity and peaceful residence of the elderly couple while simultaneously safeguarding the shelter rights of the daughter-in-law. ▪️High Court also noted that daughter-in-law was not financially destitute or dependent, as she was an employed government teacher with a stable source of income and her son had already grown up. ▪️Ultimately, court held that where DV Act and rights of senior citizens overlap, courts must adopt a harmonious interpretation. #DelhiHC
