Overview
- The single-judge bench of Justice Jitendra S Jain refused an injunction sought by a Mumbai-based son to stop his Kolhapur-based parents from using his Goregaon residence.
- As an interim arrangement, the court directed the son or his wife to receive the parents on arrival, bring them home, accompany them for treatment, bear medical expenses, and ensure their safe return.
- The order requires the son to arrange travel if the parents wish to visit their other sons in Airoli/Navi Mumbai or Kolhapur, with instructions to treat them with respect, love, and care.
- The court warned that any breach of these directions or inconvenience to the parents would invite contempt proceedings against the son.
- Noting that the parents travel roughly 380 km to J J Hospital in Mumbai, the judge stressed that all three sons share responsibility and invoked the moral example of Shravan Kumar while declining to decide the property dispute’s merits.
