Frequently Asked Questions
Which Tribunal handles senior citizen maintenance cases for Bhubaneswar residents?
Bhubaneswar falls within Khordha district, and maintenance applications under the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007 are filed before the Maintenance Tribunal for the relevant sub-division of Khordha district, headed by the Sub-Divisional Officer (SDO).
Who can be asked to pay maintenance to a senior citizen in Bhubaneswar?
Children (including adopted children) and, in certain circumstances, relatives who would inherit the senior citizen's property can be directed to pay maintenance, if they have sufficient means and the senior citizen is unable to maintain themselves from their own income or property.
Is a full civil suit required to claim maintenance from children in Bhubaneswar?
No. The Act specifically provides a summary procedure before the Maintenance Tribunal so that elderly applicants can obtain relief without the delay of a regular civil suit. This is a key advantage of proceeding under the Senior Citizens Act rather than ordinary civil litigation.
Can maintenance be claimed if the parent transferred their Bhubaneswar house to a child?
If the transfer of property was made subject to the condition that the transferee would provide basic amenities and physical needs to the senior citizen, and that condition is not fulfilled, the transfer can be treated as having been made through fraud, coercion, or undue influence, and the Tribunal may declare it void.
How does Advocate Debarchana Samal assist senior citizens in Bhubaneswar?
Advocate Debarchana Samal assists in preparing the maintenance application, compiling supporting documents such as income and property details, and representing the senior citizen or their authorised representative before the Maintenance Tribunal, Khordha, with sensitivity to the client's circumstances.
