to act arrogant towards them. Hence, Vanlalthara keep starting to defend his wife
welfare inhumanly while beating up his own mother instead. Moreover,
Vanlalthara’s wife never spoke to her mother-in-law but instead leave behind a
note of every detail of their basic household needs and further, she used to
keep the utensils of her mother-in-law out in the doorway. Also, Vanlalthara
often start making trouble in the family and sometimes used to chase out his
mother and sister alongwith his nephew from the house even at midnight and they
used to sleep at the roadside which affected the academic status of his nephew.

stay in his basement. The Local Council of that locality having knowledge of
the situation took many steps but could not reach settlement between them.
However, Smt. Kapzuali thought that it is not consciously right to stay at the
basement of his son-in-law since she is already 80 years old and may even pass
away one day. So, her utmost desire to stay at her own home and die peacefully.

purposes of the Mizoram State Legal Services Authority through her grandson,
she approached the official of this Authority and thus filed a petition
regarding her family problem. The case was brought before the Lok Adalat and
thus the conciliators of the Lok Adalat after hearing the plea of all the
parties finally reached amicably settlement between the parties stating that
Shri Vanlalthara will extend the house so that his mother alongwith his sister
and nephew could settle comfortable alongwith with them and further, the Local
Council will supervise the welfare and harmony of the family and promise to
make sure that all the agreement is fully executed or not.
Accepting his default by Shri Vanlalthara,
he promised to take care the welfare of his family and left Lok Adalat with
tear of love towards his mother.
