Madras HC on Parents Maintenance

March 21 , 2025 15 hrs 0 min 59 0
  • Madras high court has said Parents are entitled to cancel gift deeds if the children fail to maintain them, even in the absence of an explicit condition mentioned in the deed.
  • But, the Section 23(1) of the Maintenance of the Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007 expects such a condition to have been imposed in the gift/settlement deeds.
  • The Division Bench also said that the requirement under Section 23(1) need not necessarily be explicit and that it should be allowed to be implicit too based on the relationship between the parents and their children.
