    Case Summary: CWP/18241/2023 – Savita Mahajan v. State of Punjab The Punjab High Court set aside the Additional Deputy Commissioner's order dismissing Savita Mahajan's eviction application against her son and daughter-in-law, finding the authority lacked jurisdiction. The court held that eviction applications under the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007 must be filed before the Maintenance Tribunal (Sub-Divisional Magistrate), not the Appellate Tribunal, and remanded the matter for fresh adjudication. The question of whether daughter-in-laws can be evicted under the Act was left open for the Tribunal to decide. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
