PPO 2021 restricts children, who own the property or have rented the space themselves, in forcing out their parents of the house. If parents want their children out of the house that the parents own or have rented, the children will be held responsible for not obeying the instructions.

the children must leave the house of their parents within 30 days of the written notice issued by the parents and failing to do so might land them in jail for 30 days or slap a fine on them or both.

the deputy commissioner of any district now has the power to move against the children upon complaint by parents. the action against such children whose parents have made formal complaints falling under the ambit of this ordinance will require no warrant.

Both parties will have the right to appeal.
