Re: legal case on father

The only possible claim by you against your father can be of maintenace; and that too if you can prove that you are unable to maintain yourself. No one has any right in father's self acquired property; and more particularly the bank balances. Pleae bear with the situation and try to think good of your father at least for so long as you live with him.
