Samtola Devi vs State Of Uttar Pradesh 2025 INSC 404 - Senior Citizens Act - Eviction Orders
Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007 - Section 23 - The provisions of the Senior Citizens Act, nowhere specifically provides for drawing proceedings for eviction of persons from any premises owned or belonging to such a senior person. It is only on account of the observations in S. Vanitha vs. Commissioner, Bengaluru Urban District (2021) 15 SCC 730 that the Tribunal under the Senior Citizens Act may also order eviction if it is necessary and expedient to ensure the protection of the senior citizens -In a given case, the Tribunal ‘‘may order’’ eviction but it is not necessary and mandatory to pass an order of eviction in every case - Referred to Urmila Dixit vs. Sunil Sharan Dixit (2025) 2 SCC 787. (Para 31-32)
Family - In India we believe in “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” i.e. the earth, as a whole, is one family. However, today we are not even able to retain the unity in the immediate family, what to say of building one family for the world. The very concept of ‘family’ is being eroded and we are on the brink of one person one family. (Para 2)
