In the unusual gesture, the justice Gr Swaminathan from the Madras High Court and his wife Kamakshi, a special educator, in his residence of an 83 -year -old father with a deposit to see if the Octogenariat suffered from his mental javelin, as his older son claimed.
The judge decided to go to the house of a man in Kodambakam in Chennai after taking into account that his production would cause him a huge physical inconvenience, because he suffered a stroke in 2021, lost his ability to speak and has been a tube since then.
Appointment
Swaminathan justice took her wife with her because she had experience in dealing with mentally ill people. The decision was adopted at a meeting on the case submitted by Sivakumar Chellathurai in 2023 for the appointment of manager of his father PKM Durai’s property and allow him to destroy him.
The petition was filed according to letters of 17 letters that provide Parens Patriae Jurisdiction to the High Court in connection with “minors, madmen and idiots”. The judge stated that although such expressions can no longer be used, they continue to find a place in the status.
The judge left it aside and found that the court also submitted an application for the direction of his mother Kouslya Devi and the younger brother C. Sabari Kumar to take his father to the hospital for subsequent monitoring and review. The applicant claimed that his father was mentally ill.
Two words
To see if the statement is true, the judge wrote the words “hospital” and “home” under another on a piece of paper and asked Mr. Durai to point out his preference. Due to the difficulties in the coordination of the engine, the old man initially touched the words “hospital”.
But when the judge asked if he wanted to move to the hospital, his father began to cry. Immediately Mrs Kamakshi wrote the words “home” and “hospital” on two sides of paper, and this time Mr. Durai touched the words “home” and indicated the gestures that he was comfortable at home.
“Due to his physical condition, he was drool. Whenever he drooling, he took a handkerchief using his left hand and wiped the saliva. Whenever he cried, he also used a handkerchief to erase his tears, but I could have run over.
After organizing a detailed interaction with his mother and younger brother of the applicant, the judge found that they both had no objections to the applicant who visited their home to see their father.
“No merit in the application”
“I am of a clear opinion that what Thirra. PKM Durai is now loving care. He wrote.
Although he noted that the main case filed by an older son was not in itself maintainable, the judge abstained his release, because he was not present in front of him the leading advisor involved in the dispute.
