JUDGMENT : VIRENDER SINGH, J. 1. An important issue concerning the welfare of the parents and senior citizens in the present society has been raised in the present writ petition. The joint family concept in our country has perhaps been long forgotten. New generation likes to move on leaving their old parents at the mercy of the God.

The Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007 is a step forward for the maintenance and welfare of parents and senior citizens. One of the prayers in the writ petition is for a direction upon the respondent-State to frame rules under Section 30 of the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007. 2. Mr. Rajesh Kumar, the learned GP-V submits that the State Government has already framed rules under Section 30 called the Jharkhand Maintenance of Parents and Senior Citizens Rules, 2013. 3. Another prayer in the writ petition is to direct the respondent nos. 1 & 2 to take immediate steps for establishing “Old Age Homes” in each district of the State. 4.
