Mumbai:
A son who ill-treats and assaults his mother cannot claim the right to enter her house, the Bombay high court has observed.
A south Mumbai resident, along with his wife and child (a minor), had approached the court after his 72-year-oldmother changed the locks to her Malabar Hill flat and refused him and his family entry.
“Prima facie, the son has no right to his mother’s home,” said Justice Shahrukh Kathawalla. The elderly woman, a doctor, recently appeared before the judge, saying that for “the last several years, I was suffering mental and physical abuse at the hands of my son”.
She told the judge her son, under psychiatric treatment for over a decade, had repeatedly assaulted her.
As a last resort, when her daughter-in-law and her grandson left her flat, along with their maid and their dog, she changed its locks.
