HC on Elderly Parents: India Is Land of Shravan Kumar; Children Are Under Moral and Legal Duty To Look After Parents, Says Allahabad High Court

The Allahabad High Court recently held that India is the land of Shravan Kumar while stating that children are expected to look after their elderly parents. The high court said the country's traditional norms and the values held by Indian society prioritise the responsibility of looking after one's aged parents and the elderly. The high court bench of Justices Mahesh Chandra Tripathi and Prashant Kumar also observed that when old parents gift their hard-earned property to children at a time when they are weak or ill and may not be earning, the children are under a moral and legal duty to look after the parents, reports Bar and Bench. "Our nation has been a land of culture, value & ethics. It is the land of the legendary 'Shravan Kumar' who sacrificed his life for his blind parents. The traditional norms and values of India society emphasize the duty of taking care of elders. In our traditional society, duties of children towards one's parent were considered as a debt owed to them," the Court said. HC on Live-In Relationship: Allahabad High Court Calls Live-In Relationships 'Time Pass', Says It Lacks Stability and Sincerity While Denying Police Protection to Inter-Faith Couple.
