Senior citizen - harassment

1. Shift to your own registered House without any big announcement as soon as possible.

2. Address a A4 size (under Indian Post Speed Post AD) joint addressed letter to your DIL and son (to your home address as well to his office address) to move out of your self acquired jointly owned property emphasizing mentioned grievances in brief and give them a date of moving out of your property. Later online logging Indian Post official Website search for its delivery and shoot an RTI application to Indian Post to provide you delivery proof or take header / footer printout of its prrof of delivery. Keep carbon copy of addressed letter as proof with you safely for any future litigations.

3. Be reasoned that once a son is helped up by parents and grows up and is then married off he is at mercy of his senior citizen parents to stay back and share their property. Moreover when he has made his own property be it on EMI and seeing not so harmonious personal marriage he should not burden his oldies and should have volunteered to move out himself and taken such volatile personal situation charge in his own hands. These are some of the judicial wisdom in various tribunal as well as Civil Court judgments and either in Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007 or be it as under DV Act, 2005, both of you senior citizens are well protect as and when any case filed against you. There will be initial hiccups but Court helps – hears those who wisely act first instead of struck off by Arjun Vishad Yog (Gita Chapter I)

4. In future whenever DIL calls Police within 24 HRS send an RTI Application to Police Control Room to provide you copy of Transcriptt of call as well as CD. There were few discussion on how to secure such details here in Family Law forum, dig – refer to them for explanations in details.

5. On your question on creating evidence for your son’s future case, it depends on which ground he is seeking divorce and his petition writers skills is all I can add to here.

6. It is suggested to first save your miseries in your senior years with medical conditions and then provide moral and institutional support to a grown up son and insist them to move out within certain time limit and Law is in favor of you so take the first step.

7. Also start to find for an Advocate via family-friend reference specialising in Tribunal cases and one who knows about Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act and without fail file a relief suit matter against your older son n DIL before the Jurisdiction Tribunal parallel while acting upon para 2 advice. 

Later online logging Indian Post official Website search for its delivery and shoot an RTI application to Indian Post to provide you delivery proof

proof of delivery can be obtained from the post office JUST BY FILING A SINGLE COMPLAINT, annexing the copy of booking receipt.

within 3-4 days, postal department gives u a letter stating delivery status.

NO NEED OF RTI.

To: Tajobsindia and Amit,

We really found your advice of great value. We will send the letter of eviction soon and keep you updated on the proceedings through this thread.

Few more questions:

1. What if my DIL refuses to shift from my house? What actions can be taken in the case? Will Police of of any help in this case?

2. What if she invites us to stay with her? We do not want to shift unless and until she moves out of the house.

3. Suppose we need to issue a legal notice. Though it is a seconday or tertiary thing....but can we ask for compensation from them due to all the harassment and trauma we had to go through in the past?

Hello,

 We have sent a letter to DIL and son through registered AD post at my flat where they are currently residing. The letter was addressed jointly to my son and DIL and was sent jointly by my wife and me. My DIL is making excuses and asking my son to inform us that we should be sending a letter addresses to her...and only then she will reply. My son informed her that letter was addressed to both. What can be done now?

Regards

Hello

I and my wife are senior citizen need your advise as to how should we proceed or deal with the current situation that we are in :

1. We have a property which is self-owned by me and is surving on pension.

2. My son got married 5 years back and stayed with us for 1 year. My DIL in my sons absence used to mentally torture and harass both of us. In order to buy peace my polite son decided to move and stay close to work place. After my son and DIL moved to rented home we both never visited the rented house so that my son and DIL can live in peace. After few months from moving DIL started visiting my house intermittently with my son. During those visits daughter in law used to shout, fight and harass us. Due to these repeated conflicts, me and wife suffered from intense mental torture also leading to several health problems frequently, due to which I started having high blood pressure and was hospitalized.

3. Recently, my son died in an accident and is survived by wife and small kid. After death of my son DIL along with her mother and brother have been trying to defame us . They recently filed a complaint against my family with wrong allegations of breaking in the house on the day my son died and taking away everything from the house in her absence. The funny part is that her whole family has been staying in the rented house since death .Infact I was abused by my DIL and her brother along with some of her neighbors in the police station threatening me saying break his legs.

4 few days before death of my son my DIL had started defaming us and was demanding separation from my son. She was mentally torturing him by saying that “if you  go and meet your parents I will leave you and will file lawsuit for alimony and will never let you see our kids”. My son got depressed listening all of this.

5 Its been only few weeks from the day my only son expired. We both are mentally depressed and broken after losing our loving son. After the death, my whole family and friends made multiple attempts to console, and offer help but to vain. Her brother threatened us that he will see us in the court.

6. Recently, she has filed a civil case demanding partioning in a self-owned property, and some other properties owned by my other children. In addition she also alleges that huge amount was stolen from the house.

Sir, we are really broken with sudden demise of our son and doesn’t understand the consequences of this case. As a parents I did everything for my kids in a limited income and has no savings. We are under tremendous mental pressure and is also not doing well with my health as I am heart patient. Her family has threatened us that they will take away my property in which we currently reside. My question to you is in the given circumstance:

a.        Does my DIL or her small kid have any rights in my self-owned property.

Good Advice from TJ Sir and Amit.Cheers.

Dear Sir,

 Sorry to hear about your ordeal. What action have you taken to so far to deal with the situation and have your relatives offered any advise/suggestions to deal with these threats?My advise is not to allow her to enter your house under any circumstances. Do not worry about threatening etc..as of now, there are ways to deal with it.
