Learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner is a senior citizen and has filed a complaint seeking protection of life and property before respondent No.3 under Rule 4(1) of the Telangana Maintenance & Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Rules, 2011(‘Senior Citizens Act’ for brevity) and application No.VKB0000466 of 2025 has been assigned to the petitioner; that the complaint is against the respondent No.6 who is none other than petitioner’s son. Pursuant to the said application neither notice has been issued nor the grievance has been redressed as per the time limit prescribed under the Senior Citizens Act and hence, he would seek to pass appropriate orders.

5. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Energy, Women, Children, Disabled & Senior Citizens Departments would submit that the case of the petitioner is under consideration before respondent No.3 and the same would be considered by issuing notices to all the concerned and after granting sufficient opportunity of hearing, and that it is admitted fact that O.S.No.128 of 2022 i.e., partition suit is pending before the Civil Court and hence, this matter requires detailed examination and after conducting detailed examination, appropriate orders will be passed by respondent No.3.
