Karnataka HC cancels 2.4-acre land gift deed after daughters neglect 84-year-old dad

Karnataka High Court cancelled a gift deed of 2.4 acres of land from an 84-year-old father to his daughters after they neglected him. The court invoked the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007, stating that an explicit maintenance clause is not mandatory, and such obligations can be inferred from the circumstances and conduct of the parties.
