Overview
- The single‑judge bench declined to bar the parents from using their son’s Goregaon residence during trips for treatment.
- The order requires the son and his wife to receive the parents on arrival, bring them home, accompany them to J J Hospital, assist through treatment, bear related expenses, and ensure a safe return.
- The parents must inform the Mumbai‑based son in advance of planned hospital visits so arrangements can be made.
- The court warned that any breach of these directions or inconvenience caused to the parents will trigger contempt proceedings.
- Calling care of elders a moral duty and invoking Shravan Kumar, the judge noted the parents live in Kolhapur and often travel about 380 km to Mumbai; the plea challenged a 2018 civil court refusal to restrain their access.
