1. Saint Thiruvalluvar, the Great Tamil Poet had epitomized the role of a son in a couplet as follows:-

Translated the same means that "where a son conducts himself insuch a manner that people around would praise the father and state that the father must have undergone great penance to have begotten such a son."

The above words echoes the ethos of our society. The case on hand demonstrates how these values are fast loosing its significance.

The words of Justice V.R.Krishna Iyer in his Judgement reported in AIR 1980 SC 2181 - The Life Insurance Corporation of India Vs. D.J.Bahadur and Others "Judicial acceptance of social dynamics as protected by the Constitution is the crucial factor in this case" sets the tone for the instant case.

2. The unfortunate parents are the appellants before this Court.
