In a recent judgement, Acting Chief Justice Ravindra V. Ghuge and Justice Gautam A. Ankhad of the Bombay High Court ordered a son to vacate properties gifted to him by his parents. This decision came after he failed to uphold his promise to care for his elderly parents when they gifted him their flat.
The case involved a 68-year-old senior citizen Ramesh Bachaulal Soni, who has four children (one son, and three daughters), all of whom are married. Following his marriage, his son continued to live with his parents in their Lower Parel flat, which Ramesh Bachaulal Soni had purchased on March 25, 2005.
