Shobha Shankarlalji Gupta vs. Vijay Devidas Pandit and Ors. (07.10.2025 – BOMHC)

The High Court of Bombay addressed the dispute between Shobha Shankarlalji Gupta and Vijay Devidas Pandit and others regarding possession of property under the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007. The core issue was whether the petitioner, a senior citizen, was entitled to possession of a specific portion of land based on a Will, which was contested by the respondents. The court upheld the Appellate Authority’s decision to remand the matter to the Tribunal for fresh inquiry, emphasizing that the issue of partition and possession should be adjudicated in a Civil Court. The writ petition was dismissed, and the Tribunal was instructed to expedite the case within two months.
