The petitioner has also, now, approached the second respondent under the provisions of the Maintenance and Welfare of the Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007, on 29.05.2025.
It is the case of the petitioner that despite the petitioner having filed an application with the second respondent, the same has not been disposed of.
The learned Special Government Pleader for the respondents 1 and 2, on the other hand, submits that there is a property dispute with the persons, who are not governed by the provisions of the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007. Therefore, this petition is without any merits and not maintainable and hence, this Writ Petition is liable to be dismissed.
Having considered the submissions of the learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Special Government Pleader for the respondents 1 and 2 and having considered the suit filed by the petitioner before the District Munsif Court, Madurai in O.S.No.81 of 2022, I am inclined to dispose of this Writ Petition, without making any observation on merits of the inter se dispute between the petitioner and defendants in O.S.No.81 of 2022 by directing the second 3/6 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis W.P.(MD) No. 18071 of 2025respondent to dispose of the application filed by the petitioner under the provisions of the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007 as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of six (6) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, after due notice to the defendants mentioning therein.
