An Exhaustive Examination of Person Laws and Precedent Cases for the Protection of Elderly People- Elder Justice

The study gives different personal laws and precedents for safeguarding the rights of senior citizens in India, concentrating specifically on the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007, which gives the elderly the right to maintenance and protection from abuse. Reviews of judicial precedents have, in the past, shaped the very interpretation and pulverization of these various laws, particularly highlighting judgments related to abuse, financial exploitation, and a right to dignity. The research identifies areas where there are gaps in existing legislative provisions that protect senior citizens, and proposes public policy issues for just that purpose. It merges an analysis of legal texts with the consideration of case law so as to give good insights into the issue of access to justice among the elderly and thereby give recommendations for people in power and lawyers.
