Old Age Care Home (respondent no. 2 herein) at the instance of one Mr. Kapil, in whose favour she had executed a gift deed. Since then, the petitioner was unable to establish any contact with her step-mother.

¶19

Today, Mrs. Gyan Kaur has appeared before us in person. She has been brought in wheel chair and when asked, she expressed that, at the moment, she wanted to reside at the Old Age Care Home, only where she is duly provided with all necessary facilities and proper care.

¶20

Our interaction with her clearly indicates that she does not want to go with the petitioner, at the moment.

¶21

In view thereof, having regard to the fact that Mrs. Gyan Kaur is a senior citizen and has expressed her willingness to take her own independent decisions, no further orders are required to be passed in the present petition.

¶22

Resultantly, the petition is disposed of in aforesaid terms.

All rights and contentions of parties are left open.
