F.Sachin Kumar v. The State of Telangana
Case brief
What is this about?
Telangana High Court, Writ Petition No. 27610 of 2025, decided 12-09-2025 by Justice K. Lakshman. Son's writ petition challenging Maintenance Tribunal (RDO, Malkajgiri) order dated 29.08.2025 in Procgs No.1/039/2023, whereby the Tribunal declined jurisdiction holding the District Collector competent under Rule 21 of the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act and Rules and directed the senior-citizen mother to approach the Collector for maintenance and eviction. Court held no adverse order existed against the petitioner, so the petition was not maintainable/entitled to relief; writ petition dismissed, no costs. Keywords: Article 226, Article 300A, Section 151 CPC, Rule 21, competent authority, District Collector, maintenance, eviction, senior citizens, no adverse order, dismissal.
What did the court decide?
Since respondent No.3 only advised respondent No.4 to approach respondent No.2 seeking eviction, and there is no order adverse against the petitioner, the petitioner cannot challenge the said order and is not entitled to any relief, much less the relief sought in the writ petition.
