As reiterated by the Supreme Court of India in September 2025, under which legislation does a Tribunal have the authority to order the eviction of a child from the property of a senior citizen in cases of failure to maintain them?
Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007
The Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007 was enacted to provide a simple and speedy mechanism for parents and senior citizens to claim maintenance from their children or relatives.
In September 2025, the Supreme Court of India reiterated that a Maintenance Tribunal constituted under this 2007 Act has the authority to order the eviction of a child from a senior citizen's property when the child fails to maintain the parent.
This power supports the Act's objective of ensuring the physical and financial security of elderly parents against neglect by their children.
Hence, the relevant legislation is the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007.
