Court tells man not to subject mother to ‘legal armtwisting’

The attempt of a man to get a criminal complaint registered against his own mother has boomeranged with a trial court saying that the court cannot permit a ‘‘disgruntled son to subject his old widow mother to legal armtwisting to secure a material interest for himself’’.
‘‘The revisionist before this court is a disgruntled son who has invoked the provisions of penal legislations against his old widow mother in respect of a property, in which his mother is residing, and in respect of which civil disputes are pending before the competent courts,’’ additional sessions judge Kamini Lau said while dismissing the revision plea of the man seeking relief under Section 156(3). The son had moved the sessions court against the order of the trial court which had dismissed his prayer seeking orders to police to take action against his mother as he feared for life. As per the case, the man and his mother are fighting over a house in Hari Nagar. He alleged that he feared harm from his mother.
He said that the trial court failed to appreciate that his mother was accused of having committed serious offences of criminal intimidation, house breaking, criminal trespass, hurt, criminal conspiracy and causing mental and physical cruelty to him.
