Rangareddy Court has given a landmark judgment returning back the property to an old couple after their daughter is not looking after them. Galidevara Ramakrishna and Achuthamba, a couple from Raghavendra Colony in Nacharam, have a daughter named Lakshmi. During her marriage, they gifted their 170-yard house to her.
After a few years, the daughter started neglecting them. After tolerating for some time, they lodged a complaint with Rangareddy District Judicial Service Secretary Mrs. Sridevi seeking to have their daughter return the house they gifted to her. The secretary ordered Kesara RDO to conduct an investigation under the Senior Citizens Act.
RDO called the elders and their daughter Lakshmi for counseling. The gift registration was canceled due to non-settlement. The judge then examined the report and directed the registrar to re-register in the name of the elderly couple. The Re-registration is done in their name on the court orders.
