HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. BHASKAR REDDY WRIT PETITION No.30050 of 2023

ORDER

It is stated that petitioner Nos.1 and 2 are the husband and wife, respondent Nos.4 and 5 are the wife and husband, who are son and daughter-in-law of the petitioners, and respondent Nos.3 and 6 are mother and son, who are the daughter-in-law (wife of late Bheemaiah, elder son of the petitioners) and grandson of the petitioners. It is further stated that petitioner No.1 is the owner and possessor of land in Sy.Nos.47, 48, 49, 56, 57 and 58, total admeasuring Acs.814 guntas, situated at Thondalvai Village, Narketpally Mandal, Nalgonda District, and the same was divided and gifted to respondent Nos.3 to 6 under the gift deeds bearing document Nos.11571, 11569, 11572 and 11570 of 2019, dated 03.06.2019, for cultivation without keeping any land for their welfare and maintenance. It is further stated that after acquiring the said land, respondent Nos.3 to 6 are not providing any maintenance and they are also not attending medical emergencies and therefore, they were constrained to lodge a complaint before respondent No.2 under the provisions of the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007 (for short “the Act”), seeking cancellation of gift deed and also for maintenance. The grievance of the petitioners is that even after receipt of said complaint, respondent No.2 did not take any action on the said complaint.

2. After issuing notices, the learned counsel for the respective parties made their efforts for amicable settlement of the disputes between the petitioners and respondents, who readily agreed the proposal mooted by the counsel for the petitioners for paying lump-sum amount as maintenance. The respondent Nos.3 to 6 herein have agreed to pay an amount of Rs.8,00,000/- (Rupees eight lakhs only) and the respondent No.4 has agreed to pay an amount of Rs.9,00,000/- (Rupees nine lakhs only) to the petitioners towards full and final settlement of the maintenance and the petitioners agreed for the said proposal with an assurance that they will not claim any amount towards maintenance in future before any of the forum. 3. The efforts made by the learned counsel appearing for the parties to convince the parties for amicable settlement are placed on record.

4. In view of the aforesaid submissions, this writ petition is disposed of, directing respondent Nos.3 and 6 to pay the agreed amount of Rs.8,00,000/- (Rupees eight lakhs only) to the petitioners towards maintenance, within a period of two (02) months from the date of this order. Further, respondent No.4 is directed to pay the agreed amount of Rs.9,00,000/- (Rupees nine lakhs only) to the petitioners towards maintenance, within a period of three (03) months from the date of this order. Further, payment of the aforesaid maintenance amounts, does not release respondent Nos.3 to 6 from discharging their pious obligation to attend the petitioners in medical emergencies and to extend all necessary help to the petitioners as and when they needed. There shall be no order as to costs.

As a sequel, the miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall stand closed.
