The Delhi High Court has ruled that a daughter-in-law cannot claim an independent right to continue residing in her mother-in-law’s self-acquired property once the residential rights granted to her husband come to an end. The Court held that ownership rights of the mother-in-law cannot be defeated by such residential claims.
The Orissa High Court upheld eviction of a married son and daughter-in-law from their mother’s self-acquired house, ruling they have no legal right to stay against her wishes. Justice A.C. Behera dismissed their second appeal, affirming earlier courts’ eviction orders.
The Allahabad High Court clarified that the Rent Authority’s powers are not limited by the absence of a written tenancy agreement or submitted details. Under the Uttar Pradesh Regulation of Urban Premises Tenancy Act, 2021, landlords can still seek eviction.
