In Tumakuru, a helpline is taking in elderly parents whose children have acquired their property and then refused to care for them. Cases are being resolved through the Assistant Commissioner's court, Deccan Herald reports. The helpline steps in when families cast out the aged after inheritance transfers.
This story risks fuelling a lazy 'ungrateful children' narrative. But the trend is more structural: weak enforcement of maintenance laws and a legal system that only intervenes after abandonment. The Assistant Commissioner's court is a stopgap, not a solution. Watch for how many cases actually result in restoration of care or property reversal in the next year.
