The petitioner filed an application under Section 5 of the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007 (for short ‘the Act’) with a prayer to direct the relatives of the senior citizen to return valuable documents, gold ornaments and other articles relating to his properties and also sought protection to his life from the hands of his relatives. 3. The 3rd respondent, vide endorsement dated 26.08.2023, observed that no action can be taken on the said application on the ground that issue does not fall under the purview of the senior citizen Act, 2007 and it is a matter, which had to be adjudicated before the competent civil Court. 4. Upon reviewing the application filed under Section 5 of the Act, the 3rd respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer has rightly observed that as per 5 assertions made in the application, the issue clearly falls under the purview of civil jurisdiction. 5. Therefore, without going into merits of the case, the present Writ Petition is disposed of, permitting the petitioner to file appropriate fresh application before the concerned authority and the authority is directed to consider the same and pass appropriate orders, in accordance with law. There shall be no order as to costs. As a sequel thereto, Interlocutory Applications pending, if any, shall stand closed. __________________________________ JUSTICE TARLADA RAJASEKHAR RAO Date: 20.08.2026 KBN 6 43 THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE TARLADA RAJASEKHAR RAO WRIT PETITION No.23798 of 2026 Date: 20.08.2026 KBN
