Hi,

I am professional married male..married in 2001..spouse is working in govt sector..have two small kids..
my father retired from private job in 2005 my mother is housewife..now living in rural pune area in house which was built in 2002....in 2005 they (father & mother)sold ancestral land which was 1.5 acres....in 2007 he sold another land around 1.5 out of 6 acres which was purchased by him in 1986..now 4.5 acres of land and 1 bhk flat (he purchased that in 1996) in mumbai is remaining..whole land is irrigated and superior quality..
They gave me 9.5 lacs (as a gift or token of appreciation) in 2009 as I have helped a lot earlier.. I used to give them money every month (12000-15000).
till 2010 mumbai flat was in my possession..they asked me to leave possession of flat (on instigation of one of my sisters...it happens in many families..)..I asked for flat to live as I dont have any & I am staying in rented flat now..they asked me not to give them anything & they too wont give me anything ..I have stopped giving them money which I used to give them every month..
I heard that they want to sell that flat & give money to sister..also they are preparing to send me notice regarding maintenance for them..
Though we both are working our financial position is not that good to bear extra burden of maintenance due to high cost of living in mumbai..children education expenses..house rent..other EMIs..
Now my queries are -

1.can they ask for money (9.5 l) given to me...I have monetarily helped them earlier and later too..but in cash..& they gave me 9.5 L in pay order for covenience of carrying...

2.can they ask for maintenance from me..?
they have got 4.5 acres of good quality,irrigated agricultural land..of which 2 acres is in my name...at the time of purchasing they bought 2 acres in my name for the ceiling of land issue....I was minor then..now on 7/12 bears my name (2 acres).
also they have got 1 poultry of 3000 sq.feet..which can get rent of 4000 to 5000 per month..
also on 1st floor of house in pune there are 2 rooms which are built to be rented...they use to give them on rental basis..each room can get rent of Rs.800 pm
flat in mumbai can get a rent of 10000-15000 per month..

3.can they claim 2 acres land which is in my name but originally purchased in my name by my father in 1986..?

4. how shall I proceed ?

You seem to have dashed their genuine hopes of their old age from a son, if they feel themselves compelled to take such drastic steps against you. Appropriate care and maintenance is the legal liability of the children in old age of the parents.

Dear Client,

Both you and and your sister have received property from them and since both of you are financially sound are equally liable to maintain your old parents in case they don't have sufficient means to maintain themselves.

It is highly shameful for all of us to read such insult and humiliation of old age parents in the hands of their children for whose happiness they devoted their whole life.
