Cruel father and sister

If father does not have money. Give it. It is rather emotional relatioship than anything else. What goes around comes around. dont forget this.

The Bombay High Court has clearly held that a married daughter is dutybound by law to maintain her parents in a case where parents filed an application seeking maintenance from their son under Section 125(1)(d) of the Code of Criminal Procedure and the daughter has sufficient means to maintain her parents.
Judgments are case-specific and there could definitely be merit in finding that the said judgments can be applied in your case. You'll have to file a petition in Family court for impleadment of your sister, but there is no provision for joinder or non-joinder of necessary party; or for that matter misjoinder of parties in Cr. P. C as provided under Order 1 C.P.C, so there are very slight chances that your impleadment application would be allowed but it's worth giving a try.
Section 91 Cr. P. C application, you can definitely file for production of your father's bank account statements etc.

"What goes around comes around", I completely agree. However, please do not conclude anything on emotional terms - and before you do, at leaset take 10 minutes to read the entire case / scenario at "https://www.lawyersclubindia.com/forum/Cruel-father-and-husband-now-demanding-maintenance-from-son-160482.asp".

Despite of my mother's condition and my financtial state at that time, I still agreed to pay what I could. But, you do not know, you have not taken time to actually read the entire case (at above link) and arrived at such guidance - whcih is okay.

But, with all sincerarity, i am looking for a legal solution where the man who has failed to be a fahter and a husband and continuing to cause nothing but trauma to me and to my mother who died in December 2017.

Also, as I stated, he has money - which he is not disclosing to court. What is the legal way to bring facts before court? Section 91? If so, how?

God bless you, Sir. I appreciate guidance and feedabck from you!

Thank you very much for guidance, Sir.

So, in my case, if the court grants him maintainance just because he is pretending he cannot maintain himself, can I then, go to the same court / highter court and file a petition to involve every other son  / daughter he has? Like the case of BHC?

The link you proivded is not working. There is no escaping if court orders to pay maintenance to old age father.

Even if he has resources nothing wrong that he ask money from you. Court will take view from old age point.  Evn if you prove that he has lots of assets, it will take lot of time to prove all that. Finally the matter is not about whether father has asets or not. It is about whther you are willing to maintain old age father or not.

Anyway you have lawyer at your disposal. You make full use of him rather than seeking help here.

First, daughter will only be liable to maintain her father/mother, if she has an independant income from his husbnad. Second, u need to change your advocate, if he is not sharing the details of the proceeding with u. As u r saying that your advocate is saying that he will implead sister/others as a party once this case is decided, it shows that he wants to earn money only by filing multiple cases one after another. Change him and hire another advocate on per appearance basis fee. 

You can definitely use section 91. If u are able to prove that your father is able to maintain himself, no maintenance will be awarded as first condition in Crpc 125 is "unable to maintain".

If court does not allow u to for impleading others as a party as it is a criminal proceedings, u can try to plead taht as per family court act the proceedigns will be of civil nature and your application can be accepted in the interest of justice.

Dear Sir,

Thank you very much for guidance. My lawyer is not willing to file application under sec 91 to my father's bank. I know one of this banks account details. Instead, lawyer is asking me to procure his statement - who can I?

Dear Team,

My sister is a government employee (permanet appointment); she has a her own house, her busband earns more than a lack from his garment business, he has his own store in central market, he has two houses that are let out on rent. So, with this, I am sure my sister qualifies to be termed as "with sufficient" means.

Also, my lawyer is still not willing to consider to file an impleadment notice. Further, my father has also lied in court that his vision is blur and that he cannot maintain daily activities on his own. However, to attend to court sessions he take his two wheerls and rides without any difficulty. During his cross examins though, he stated he stopped using his bike long ago.

Yesterday, I went to traffic police to capture CCTV footage of a particuler location and time, and police said it can be done if court orders to produce the same. I discussed this with my lawyer too but no positive response from him on that as well.

In my opinion, a lawyer must, in all honesty, provide complete solution and / or possible ways to povide proof to court - but I am not getting such a help from my lawyer, not just yet.

Can I fight this case on my own? Please share details and guide me, please.

Please guide.
