Evicts 78-year-old mother from house; HC ousts son and hands over house to her

MALAPPURAM: Action has been taken against a man and his family for evicting his mother from the house. The incident happened at Trikkulam in Tirurangadi. The revenue authorities ousted her son from the house and handed over the house to his mother. Radha (78) of Ambalappadi got the house following the order of the high court.

Radha filed a complaint with the RDO over the incident in 2021. Her complaint said that she has been facing physical harassments from her son for more than seven years. Her son approached the district collector questioning this. However, the district collector issued an order in favour of his mother. He approached the high court against it. However, the high court also issued a verdict in favour of her.

Although the high court informed the verdict, he sought more time to shift from the house. He did not shift even though five days were given. With this, high-ranking revenue officials led by sub-collector Dileep and Tirurangadi police reached the house last evening. However, at that time, only Radha's granddaughter was at home. She sat in the house with the door closed. Finally, the officials broke the lock and entered the house.
