Bombay HC appoints daughter as legal guardian of mother with dementia under parens patriae doctrine

The Bombay High Court, invoking its 'parens patriae' jurisdiction, appointed a daughter as the legal guardian of her 78-year-old mother, who is diagnosed with severe dementia. This decision, based on a medical board's report and with no objections from the son, empowers the daughter to manage her mother's assets and ensure her well-being.
