Odisha High Court affirms property ownership rights in landmark ruling. Justice A.C. Behera ordered the eviction of a son and daughter-in-law from a 75-year-old mother's self-owned house, establishing that sons have no legal claim to their mother's property without her consent. The case, filed in 2019, involved allegations of harassment and threats forcing the elderly mother to abandon her own home. Despite the son's argument that the property was jointly built using family contributions, the court upheld the mother's sole ownership rights. Lower courts had previously ruled in her favor, but the son's appeal to the High Court was dismissed. This decision reinforces individual property rights and protections for elderly homeowners against family disputes over ancestral or self-acquired property.
