➡️The primary legal issue in this *Case before the Apex Court was whether the Division Bench of the High Court correctly interpreted Section 23 of the Act in setting aside the orders of the Single Judge and subordinate Tribunals.

➡️The Counsel for the appellant submitted that the respondent son failed to provide the promised care as stipulated in the promissory note & the accompanying gift deed.

🔸The Act's protective intent supports nullification due to the respondent’s neglect.

➡️ The Counsel for the Respondent son submitted that the promissory note was fabricated and not part of the registered gift deed.

🔸The gift deed itself contained no explicit condition for maintenance, limiting the Tribunal's jurisdiction under Section 23 of the Maintenance and Welfare of the Parents and Senior Citizens Act.

➡️The Apex Court observed that

🔸The Maintenance and Welfare of the Parents and Senior Citizens Act, is a beneficial legislation aimed at protecting senior citizens, requiring a liberal interpretation.

🔸Section 23 must be read purposively, allowing remedies for neglected parents even in the absence of explicit conditions in the gift deed.

🔸Literal interpretations undermining the Act's purpose must be avoided.

🔸The elderly citizens of our country, in some cases, are not being looked after.

🔸The Act empowers senior citizens to secure their rights promptly when they transfer a property subject to the condition of being maintained by the transferee.

➡️The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's Division Bench judgment and restored the decisions of the Single Judge and subordinate tribunals, declaring the gift deed null and void.
