TERMING it a son's "pious" duty, the Jharkhand High Court has upheld a family court order directing a man to pay ₹3,000 as monthly maintenance to his aged father.

While dismissing the man's plea challenging the family court order, the court observed, "Even if for the sake of argument, the father earns something; it is pious duty of a son to maintain his old aged father." Citing Hindu scriptures, the court of Justice Subhash Chand observed, "If your parents are confident you feel confident, if they are sad you will feel sad. Father is your God and Mother is your Nature.
