Lalit Mehra Son Of Late Shri Shrichand ... vs Amit Mehra Son Of Shri Lalit Mehra ... on 5 July, 2023
5. On prima facie consideration, we find that the order passed
by the learned Single Judge in the case of Maya Devi Vs.
Vishweshwar Dayal & Another (supra) only decided an issue
with regard to maintainability of an appeal at the instance of the
persons who have suffered the order of the Tribunal, though not
being senior citizens. Learned Single Judge, in the aforesaid
decision, giving wider interpretation to the remedial provisions
contained in Section 16 of the Act of 2007 has inter alia recorded
that the intention of the legislation was to include the children and
the relatives and the omission of the words 'children and relatives'
is accidental. On such consideration, it has been held that the
remedy of appeal was available to the writ petitioners therein
which led to disposal of the writ petitions with liberty to file appeal
against the order of the Tribunal.
