Man draws HC ire for abandoning 76-yr-old mother

Orders to shift the ailing woman to govt hospital

- Urvi Mahajani

In a strongly worded order, the Bombay High Court has pulled up a Bandra resident, for what it called a “very unfortunate and sad situation” and “unpardonable” abandonment of his 76-year-old ailing mother, who has been lying in the ICU of Bandra’s Holy Family Hospital since August.

The court said the case “shocks the conscience” and reflects a son's failure to fulfil even the most basic duty of caring for his elderly mother.
