Frequently Asked Questions
Is it Kendujhar or Keonjhar, and which tribunal covers this district?
Kendujhar is the official Odia name for the district commonly written as Keonjhar in English records; both refer to the same district headquarters town. Applications under the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007 for residents here are filed before the Maintenance Tribunal headed by the Sub-Divisional Officer/Sub-Collector with jurisdiction over the applicant's residence.
Can elderly parents in Kendujhar evict a child from the family home?
If the property genuinely belongs to the senior citizen and the child or relative in occupation has neglected or failed to maintain the parent, the Tribunal can order that person to vacate. This depends on clear proof of ownership and the specific facts placed before the Tribunal, so no outcome can be guaranteed in advance.
The office is in Cuttack — how are hearings at Kendujhar Tribunal managed?
Advocate Debarchana Samal prepares the application, evidence, and legal strategy from Cuttack, and appearances before the Maintenance Tribunal at Kendujhar are coordinated on a case-by-case basis around the tribunal's hearing dates.
