he Supreme Court has come to the rescue of a senior citizen by evicting the estranged daughter-in-law from his Yamuna Vihar property.
The apex court, in the process, upheld the verdict of the Delhi high court that a daughter in law has no special right over a self acquired property of the in-laws, against the latter's consent.
In a recent order, a bench of Justices Madan B Lokur and Uday Umesh Lalit also put an end to years of fighting between the woman, her in-laws and her husband by granting the couple divorce. To safeguard the rights of the single mother and her two children, SC ordered the husband to provide alternate accommodation/property in her name and pay monthly maintenance.
