The obligation of children to look after their parents during the evening of their life becomes more vigorous when the children have got the property of the parents through gift, said the High Court of Karnataka.
“Law, religion and morality impose an obligation on the children to look after their parents at least during the evening of their life and this obligation becomes more vigorous when the children have taken the property of the parents by way of gift,” the court observed while rejecting a woman’s plea questioning a tribunal’s order cancelling the property given to her by her father by way of a gift deed.
