Elder son occupying one of the house, threatening, no rent, no maitainence- judge saying rent enough

My Elder son has occupied 1 among 3 houses in Bangalore. He is threatening if I ask rent or maintainence. Judge is saying, since I get rent from other 2 houses, that is sufficient for my maintainence. I have no pension. I am heart patient with annual medicines itself costing 20,000 per month. I need to get checkup every 6 months which will be 15000. I am 76 years and going through so much pain physically and my elder son is creating more problem and its painful and depressing. Please advise


Quick Summary
A 76-year-old individual is facing significant distress as their elder son occupies one of their three Bangalore houses. The son is reportedly threatening the parent if rent or maintenance is requested, despite the parent's serious medical conditions requiring costly medication and check-ups. A judge has ruled that the rent from the other two properties is sufficient for maintenance, a decision the parent finds inadequate as the son contributes nothing and refuses to repair the occupied house. The parent is seeking advice on how to address this difficult family and financial situation.

My Elder son after marriage has occupied 1 house among my 3 houses in Bangalore and his wife does not allow us into the house. Whenever I ask rent or maintainence for my medical condition of hear ailments, he threatens of dire consequences. I have no pension. I am heart patient with annual medicines itself costing 20,000 per month. I need to get checkup every 6 months which will be 15000. I am 76 years and going through so much pain physically and my elder son is creating more problem and its painful and depressing. From other 2 houses, where 1 house is leased and that money has already been utilised earlier to repay a loan, the other house is giving me a rent of 13,000.  Judge is saying, since I get rent of 13,000 , that is sufficient for my maintainence.  The mindset of judge is, since I have 3 houses, why not allow the son to stay.  But the real problem is, that son isnt taking care of me.  I have to repay the leased amount, but he is not ready to contribute.  House is in bad condition,but he is not ready to repair. He wants to spend money only on himself. Please advise

Whether the house (stated to have been occupied by your elder son and his faily) is your self-acquired or ancestral ?

Anyhow, if you want to get your son evicted from your house, even if it is an ancestral, you have the option either to proceed before District Magistrate under the  provisions of Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007

or 

through jurisdictional civil courts through a local prudent lawyer.

If the house property occupied by your elder son is your self acquired or your own and absolute property, you may file an eviction suit to evict him from the house and as an interim relief demand him to pay monthly rent till the date he vacates the house.

There's no point in approaching senior citizens tribunal for maintenance instead you can seek direct relief as suggested.

The house belongs to my husband.  Currently, This case is with the Senior Citizen court who is asking me to dismiss the petition and allow Son to continue staying in the house and since I am getting rent from other house of 13,000, the Senior Citizen tribunal judge is of opinion that I am getting sufficient money and no need for a separate maintainence.

This is the problem with courts like Senior Citizens court.  They think that they are doing social service and charity.

Dr. J C Vashista (Advocate )     26 October 2026

You may move in  appeal before its appellate Tribunal as the order passed is baised and illegal, if you want to seek redressal from the same forum i.e. Maitenance & Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Tribunal

otherwise

File an eviction suit before jurisdictional civil Court through a local prudent lawyer.

Thank you Dr. J.C.Vashista, T Kalaiselvan and Dr. MPS Ramani for your valuable time and advise. This gave me some idea for me to proceed with my next steps.  Please advise if there is a way to fast track my appeal with appellate or civil court.  Kindly advise.

You are welcome for your understanding and appreciations.

Just download e-courts app in your phone and go to the state, court, date and find it out. However, you will have to insert required information, if available with you.

It would be appropriate to consult your lawyer who is well aware about the information / facts qua pending appeal or civil court.
