SHO fails to register case; PCA unhappy
87-year-old complainant had filed application under Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act
The Police Complaints Authority (PCA) has requested the UT Inspector General to admonish the Sector 26 police station SHO for his failure to take action on several complaints of a senior citizen and direct him to register a case of assault, house trespass and criminal intimidation. Madan Mohan Goswami (87), a former Joint Director of the Department of Public Relations, Haryana, had filed a complaint against the partisan attitude and deliberate inaction of the cops on several complaints he filed against his son Kamal Goswami. He had stated that after his mother's death, their Sector 27 house was divided among him and his two brothers. His elder son Mukund Madhav shifted to the first floor while his younger son Kamal Goswami was given the second floor. Madan and his 84-year-old wife stayed on the ground floor. Kamal was later allowed to live with them on the ground floor temporarily as he did not shift to the second floor. Kamal was also given a secondary option of shifting to a flat in Manimjara. Instead, he rented it out and continued to occupy his father's bedroom forcing Madan and his wife to stay in the drawing room. Meanwhile,Madan's wife died and he had no place to live. He spent time at his elder son's or daughter house.
"It is evident that the complainant cannot be and should not be disposed and ousted from the portion of the house which has been in his possession. He, being entitled to one third share, has unfortunately become a homeless person. Kamal has forcibly occupied the bed room of the complainant. He gives his father threats when asked to vacate the room. He is preventing his father from using kitchen and bathroom also. The complaint being of 87 years age rightly deserved a place to live. The cops have not given him help though he has been forcibly dispossessed and ousted from his established and rightful accommodation," read the order.
