Parents can evict unruly children from house

In a judgment that will shield parents against unruly and unsupportive children, the Punjab and Haryana High Court has given a new meaning to their relationship. The High Court has asserted that a son is a mere licensee putting up on the premises owned by his father. The District Magistrate is competent to order his eviction.

The judgment by Justice Hemant Gupta and Justice Sneh Prashar came on a petition by Gurpreet Singh against his father and other respondents. The Bench said: “The petitioner is a licensee living on the premises on the basis of concession given by his father to live in the property owned by him. As a licensee, the petitioner is only permitted to enjoy the possession of the property licensed, but without creating any interest in the property. A licence stands terminated the moment the licensor conveys a notice of termination of the licence. There is no vested right of any kind in the licensee to remain in possession of the property licensed,” it said.

Private Colleges Cannot Withhold Student’s Certificates For Payment Of Amount

In a significant judgement, the , has held that private self financing Colleges cannot withhold certificates of students, for payment of amount. The practise of withholding the certificates, and non-issuance of transfer certificate to students, to coerce them into meeting unconscionable demands like paying entire course fee for leaving the course midway, or to force them to serve the institution after completion of course, etc is very rampant. In clear unambiguous terms, the Court has held that such practise is illegal and opposed to public policy. Often faced with the supreme bargaining position of the Colleges, the students often execute bonds authorising colleges to do so. But, such bonds have no validity in the eyes of law. It was held that :- “The agreements obtained by the College from petitioners authorising them to withhold the certificates of the petitioners cannot be accepted as an approved social conduct and the same, in that sense, is unethical. Further, agreements of tha...
