Madras high court has ruled that the children who inherited their parents’ property could stand to lose the property if they go back on taking care of their ageing parents. This ruling can have a profound effect in all parts of India as the country is seeing an ageing population retiring fast. Unlike in the west, Indian parents sacrifice their entire lives to give their children a better shot at life. At the end of the day, some children go back on their commitment to take care of their old parents who cannot take care of themselves. Its an excellent ruling that can secure the remaining years of the aging retirees who can finally hope to live in peace.
