The Supreme Court has restrained a son living in Motihari, Bihar, from making any deal with the property of his 89-year-old mother. A bench of Justice Dhananjay Yashwant Chandrachud and Justice Surya Kant took serious note of the fact that a mother who could not walk, her son had taken her to get her thumb affixed to the registrar’s office in Motihari to sell her property worth Rs 2 crore. .
The judges said – your interest is more visible in their property. This is the tragedy of senior citizens in our country. The court has stayed the purchase and sale of movable and immovable property of elderly Vaidehi Singh till further orders. The bench will now hear the matter on May 17.
Elderly Vaidehi Singh is suffering from dementia and is unable to understand and recognize anything.
The judges asked her son’s lawyer to ask his client whether his younger sisters could be allowed to take care of their mother in a hospital or home in Noida. The doctors have given similar advice. Pushpa Tiwari and Gayatri Kumar have filed a habeas corpus petition in the Supreme Court regarding their mother Vaidehi Singh. In which he said that he is ready to take care.
Senior advocates Priya Hingorani and Manish Kumar Sharan, appearing for the petitioners, claimed that Vaidehi Singh’s son does not allow any of his siblings to meet the mother. The judges asked the counsel for Vaidehi Singh, his son Krishna Kumar Singh, who subordinated him, to present his case so that the court can pass an appropriate order.
Krishna Kumar Singh’s lawyer said that Vaidehi Singh’s daughter has a two-room flat in Noida. So they will not be able to keep the mother properly. The judges said that it doesn’t matter how big your house is, what matters is how big your heart is. The judges said that during the legal process and despite the deteriorating condition of the mother, the son took her to the registrar’s office to sell her property.
While they don’t care.
