This query is : Resolved
My mother's sister has been staying with us for the past 50 years. She is unmarried and 75 years old. Recently she left our house and started staying with a lady(40 years old) who is completely unrelated to our family. My mother's sister was showing some signs of mental issues before leaving our house. We had many times tried to get her examined by a psychiatrist before she left our house but she was not ready to co-operate with us. She was taking some anti-depressant medicine before leaving our house.
We believe that she is suffering from some mental illness that is the reason she left our house. The lady with whom she is living is now interested in grabbing land in her name and she will definitely leave my mother's sister to the streets after grabbing her properties. This lady is not allowing us to see our aunty.
Could you please help us to understand whom should we approach to get her examined by a psychiatrist and give her the proper required treatment.

Complain the situation to the Police Station and seek their help for the unknown woman and also consult a psychiatrist without taking her, if the doctor advises to take her to his hospital, what you or the doctors/nursing staff can do to take her to the hospital.

Lawyerscba: Sir this lady was our neighbor for a couple of years and at that time she could able to establish a good relationship with our aunty and now her house is away from our house but regularly visits our neighboring temples and all.
As my aunty was showing some mental issues like, speaking vaguely alone, showing gestures alone, changing mood continuously, etc while staying with us,we tried to get her examined by a psychiatrist but my aunty was like she is absolutely fine. This unknown lady told my aunty that our family is trying to make my aunty a mad person and now my aunty believes that.
Now, this lady is not allowing us to see our aunty.Her intention is to grab property in her name. He is taking a stand that a person who attained the age of majority can live with anyone at their wish. My aunty is also not ready to cooperate with us.

Dear Sir,
You may approach High Court by filing Habeas Corpus Writ Petition along with another application for referring her for medical examination preferable by Psychiatrist.
