Daughter-in-Law Has No Right To Occupy Father-in-law’s house: SC Rejects Woman’s Plea; A case from Muzaffarpur, Bihar, reached the Supreme Court. In this case, there was a dispute regarding the occupation of the mother-in-law and father-in-law’s house by the daughter-in-law. The victim got justice from the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court has rejected the petition of the occupying daughter-in-law. The daughter-in-law, who is occupying the mother-in-law and father-in-law’s house in Dighra of Sadar police station area of the district, has got a setback from the Supreme Court.
The honourable court has upheld the decision of the Patna High Court while rejecting the petition of daughter-in-law Nancy. The court said that the woman will have to live in the alternative accommodation provided by her husband. This case started when the daughter-in-law occupied the shared house of her mother-in-law and father-in-law one and a half years ago.
What is the matter?
About one and a half years ago, in a marital dispute, the daughter-in-law illegally occupied the house of her in-laws in the presence of the police. After this the matter reached the court. The lower court gave the verdict in favor of the victimized in-laws and ordered the daughter-in-law to vacate the house, but the daughter-in-law rejected the court order and went to the High Court, but the occupying daughter-in-law lost in the High Court as well. The High Court said in its verdict that the woman has no right to occupy her friend’s house and she will have to vacate the house.
The court dismissed the daughter-in-law’s petition
The woman filed a petition against this in the Supreme Court, but the petition was rejected in the very first hearing in the court. The Supreme Court also upheld the decision of the High Court and rejected the daughter-in-law’s petition. However, the Supreme Court also said that if both the parties want, they can resolve the dispute through mediation. This is the first such incident in the district which has reached the Supreme Court of the country. In such a situation, this case is being discussed in the entire area. The biggest thing is that the incident of occupation was carried out in the presence of police.
Court gave order to vacate the house
The video of this entire incident has also surfaced. All the pictures have been captured in the CCTV cameras installed in the house. On the whole matter, advocate Aditya Singh said that on February 2, 2024, daughter-in-law Nancy Kashyap forcibly occupied the ancestral house of the victim. This work was done in connivance with the police. This incident is captured in CCTV. After this, on the complaint of the victim, the matter reached the High Court from the District Court and then the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court rejected the woman’s petition and said that the daughter-in-law has no right to occupy the house of her in-laws; she will have to vacate the house.
Questions being raised on police administration
In this case, the divorce case of the daughter-in-law and the son is going on in the court, but the court has also declared the act of bringing the police and breaking the lock and occupying the house as wrong. Now, despite the Supreme Court’s approval of justice, the girl’s side has not handed over the keys of the joint house to the boy’s elderly parents. However, the question is also on the role of the police, how did the police get involved in this illegal act? What was the role of the police here? Does the police also take tenders for occupying a house? Only the Sadar police station can answer this.
