News City woman worth Rs 30 crore dies of neglect, HC lambasts state

[Deepu]

An angry Bombay high court on Monday pulled up the state after hearing how a 68-year-old woman died of neglect despite owning property estimated at Rs 30 crore off Yari Road in Versova.

The court said it was "unfortunate" that neither her family nor the state took care of her though a law for the welfare of senior citizens mandates medical support and old age homes. "Other senior citizens should not face a similar fate," it said, adding it wishes to examine the scope and ambit of the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007.

Jayshree Gholkar died penniless after being deserted by the family of a deceased brother living in an adjacent bungalow and another brother who is settled in the US. Natasha Sara, a beauty parlour owner who stays nearby, found her "lying desolate on the bed, frail and ill" and looked after her till the end.
