I also want the answer

If possible with the relevant case laws & section (IF ANY)

Rama chary Rachakonda (Secunderabad/Telangana state Highcourt practice watsapp no.9989324294 )     16 March 2011

Section 20 of Hindu Adoptions and Maintenance Act,1956 says.Subjects to the provisions of this section, a Hindu is bound, during his or her life-time, to maintain his or her legitimate or illegitimate children and his or her aged or infirm parents.

A legitimate or illegitimate child may claim maintenance from his or her father or mother so long as the child is  a minor.

The obligation of a person to maintain hisor her aged or infirm parent or a daughter who is unmarried extends in so far as the parent or the unmarried daughter, as the case may be, is unable to maintain himself or herself out of his or her own earnings or other property.

In this section parent includes a childless step-mother.
