Parents can evict unruly children from house

In a judgment that will shield parents against unruly and unsupportive children, the Punjab and Haryana High Court has given a new meaning to their relationship. The High Court has asserted that a son is a mere licensee putting up on the premises owned by his father. The District Magistrate is competent to order his eviction.

The judgment by Justice Hemant Gupta and Justice Sneh Prashar came on a petition by Gurpreet Singh against his father and other respondents. The Bench said: “The petitioner is a licensee living on the premises on the basis of concession given by his father to live in the property owned by him. As a licensee, the petitioner is only permitted to enjoy the possession of the property licensed, but without creating any interest in the property. A licence stands terminated the moment the licensor conveys a notice of termination of the licence. There is no vested right of any kind in the licensee to remain in possession of the property licensed,” it said.

The court found that the directions in the circular, issued by the revenue department on April 27 last year, were contrary to the Supreme Court judgment dated October 11, 2011.
