The Supreme Court ruled that tribunals have the authority to order the transfer of property back to elderly parents if it was unjustly transferred away from them by their children. This case involved a dispute over the ownership of property where the elderly parents claimed that their property had been transferred to their children without their consent. The Court emphasized the protective role tribunals play in safeguarding the rights of vulnerable individuals, such as elderly parents, and stressed that property transfers made under duress or without proper consent could be reversed to ensure fairness and justice.
