Senior citizen act 2007

My father and mother stayed with daughter for the last 7 years. After 3 months of my fathers passing away mother files for maintenance under Senior Citizen act 2007. My father has given movable and immovable property to both daughter and son and kept some movable with himself and also immovable property - in joint name with daughter and mother. Now the movable (shares) worth Rs.30 lacs is transferred in mothers name and there are valid records for this. The immovable property document is a settlement deed and is worth in few crores. The presiding officer did not look at the facts presented on the shares and land property and even though the mother repeated that she is happy with daughter still a order was slapped on Son saying pay Rs. 10,000/- monthly and transfer ancestral housing property to mothers name with immediate effect. There was no reconciliation process followed nor the complaint copy has been served. Does this makes any sense and was the spirit of the law followed? Any body can help on how to appeal and where to Appeal – This happened in Karnataka
