As per case facts, the Petitioner, a senior citizen, filed an application under the Senior Citizens Act against his wife (Respondent No. 3) and later his daughters (Respondents 4 & ... 5) alleging cruelty and seeking transfer of properties bought in his wife's name or her mother's name back to him, as well as an injunction against obstructing the sale of his own flat. The Sub-Divisional Officer rejected the application, stating the reliefs sought were outside the Act's purview and related to domestic violence or property ownership, for which a Civil Court was the appropriate forum. The Appellate Authority partially allowed the appeal only to the extent of restraining obstruction of the sale of the Petitioner's sole ownership flat. The Petitioner challenged this order. The question arose whether the Senior Citizens Act could be invoked for property ownership disputes where the properties were not directly transferred by the senior citizen under conditions of maintenance, but rather purchased in the name of others. Finally, the High Court held that the Senior Citizens Act is primarily for maintenance and annulment of transfers made by senior citizens conditional on care. Since the properties in question were purchased in the Respondent No. 3's name or her mother's, and not directly transferred by the Petitioner subject to maintenance conditions, the Tribunal lacked jurisdiction for a declaration of ownership. The appropriate remedy for such claims is in a Civil Court.
