HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE VIBHU BAKHRU
06.07.2017 The learned counsel for the petitioners does not seek to press the issue, whether the remedy of an appeal would be available to the petitioner against the order passed by the Maintenance Tribunal, in terms of section 16 of the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007.
He, however, requests that the order of the Maintenance Tribunal be examined on its own merits and seeks to place on record the additional documents which formed a part of the record before the Maintenance
Tribunal.
The Registry is directed to also summon the records available with the
Maintenance Tribunal by a Special Messenger and ensure that the same is available before the Court on the next date of hearing.
