Father Wins Legal Battle: Son Must Seek Permission to Live at Home
22 Nov
Summary
- Adult married son needs father's permission to reside in his house.
- Father's sole ownership rights confirmed by Rajasthan High Court.
- Son failed to prove property was part of HUF or ancestral estate.
The Rajasthan High Court has definitively ruled that an adult, married son requires his father's explicit permission to reside in his parent's property. This decision strongly reaffirms a father's sole ownership rights, establishing that his consent is paramount for any family member's occupancy.
The court's judgment underscores that self-acquired property belongs exclusively to the owner, and children, even when adults, do not possess an automatic right to inhabit it. The son's attempt to claim co-ownership through HUF or ancestral property arguments was unsuccessful.
Ultimately, the ruling protects individual property rights while clarifying the boundaries of familial residence, emphasizing that permissive occupancy can be revoked by the property owner. The son was ordered to vacate the premises, with the court imposing significant costs on him.
