‘ Caring’ son keeps mom in cowshed'

‘ Caring’ son keeps mom in cowshed By Mail Today Bureau in Bangalore MOTHER’S Day came a couple of weeks early for 80- year- old Mallamma from Mysore. And in her case, she got the greatest gift: freedom. The widow’s first reaction after being freed by the police from a cowshed — her home for the past two years — was: “ I am seeing the sun properly after so many months!” Her youngest son Javarappa, “ concerned” about his mother’s health, had confined her to the shed, which she shared with a cow and a calf. According to the police, Mallamma had been living for many years with her husband Mariyappa, son Javarappa and daughter- in- law Nagamma in the locality of Ittigegudu for many years. But after Mariyappa’s death three years ago, Javarappa allegedly started treating her as a liability. Two years ago, he reportedly asked his mother to move into the shed citing lack of space inside the house, the police said quoting the neighbours. “ We were informed that the couple did not allow Mallamma to venture out of the house during daytime. Her movements were highly restricted and they even supplied her food inside the shed. She appeared completely dazed when we rescued her,” the Mysore police said. The police added that the cowshed was filthy and Mallamma slept in a corner with muck all around. A neighbour, with whom Mallamma had shared her sorry state of affairs when she was allowed out at night, brought the matter to the notice of the police. Javarappa was summoned to the police station for an inquiry after Mallamma was rescued. “ Javarappa claims that his mother volunteered to stay in the cow shed because she did not want to stay with them. He claimed he was worried about his mother’s health and regularly took her to hospital. We are crosschecking his claims,” the police added. While the police wanted to file a FIR in the incident, Mallamma requested them to let off her son. Interestingly, of all Mallamma’s seven children, Javarappa had volunteered to take care of her in her old age, the octogenarian told the police.

A national programme for the elderly

http://epaper.mailtoday.in/showtext.aspx?boxid=44141578&parentid=67250&issuedate=2942012

A national programme for the elderly IT IS being discussed that India is apprehensive about its rapidly increasing number of aged people. How can a country, where the scriptures proclaim that one should respect one’s mother and father as living gods, the aged are being considered a burden to be shunted in old age homes? But this is the true story of this country where a large number of the youth are aspiring day and night to scale new heights in their careers. But with this the number of the cases related to indifference, callousness, and cruelty towards elders by, unfortunately, their own kith and kin are rising alarmingly. Therefore, accepting the bitter truth and without losing time, the government must put in place a concrete national programme with adequate budget support to take care of the elderly. This programme should aim at providing them decent facilities such as food, shelter, clothing and healthcare, ensuring them financial security and help in protecting their dignity in the old age.

Govt under pressure over health insurance for senior citizens

Govt under pressure over health insurance for senior citizens

Pressure is building up on the government and the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) to chalk out a health insurance strategy for senior citizens.

The elderly are the worst impacted with the upward revision of health insurance products in 2010, when insurance companies stopped cashless hospitalisation and treatment claiming that hospitals were inflating bills.

A joint action committee for senior citizens said that while insurance regulator IRDA has asked insurance companies not to discontinue a policy based on age, it has not given any directive on pricing.

Members of the committee are slated to meet IRDA chairman J Hari Narayan next month to discus the issue.

The regulator had indicated that that re-pricing would be applicable for all policy-holders, including the elderly.

“Pricing must be different for health insurance products for senior citizens as they are finding it difficult to continue with the policies with the rise in premium,” SK Mahapatra, member, joint action committee, told Hindustantimes. He said health insurance products are no more in the ‘affordable range” for senior citizens with limited income.

According to official estimates, by 2025, over 189 million Indians will be 60-plus.

The KS Sastry Committee of IRDA, which looked into the issue, stressed the need for a ‘national policy on older persons’. The committee said insurers should promote separate products for senior citizens.

“We believe health insurance should be available to all, we offer all our customers pricing based on their age and city of residence and there is no loading based on claim history at any age,” Damien Marmion, CEO Max Bupa Health Insurance said.

No age limit to good health

No age limit to good health

23 April 2012 Older people need better access to affordable and appropriate healthcare. Healthy ageing on World Health Day Healthy ageing was the focus of this year’s World Health Day on 7 April. The urgency to address good health is underlined byWorld Health Organization (WHO) data showing thatnon-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the main health risks for older people. In poor countries, millions of older people die from these conditions each year, despite the fact that they are largely treatable. “For anyone to live in chronic pain or die too soon from highly preventable diseases is simply unacceptable,” said Richard Blewitt, HelpAge International’s CEO. Indeed, more and better preventive strategies for NCDs are needed, John Beard, Director of Ageing at WHO, points out in his blog. An older Age Demands Action on Health campaigner in Pakistan. Age Demands Action on Health The first ever Age Demands Action on Health took place this year, culminating on World Health Day. Around the world, older people sent out the message that there should be no age limit to good health and asked their governments to take action on better healthcare and services. The campaign contributed to raising awareness on the right to health. For example, an ongoing study in Ghana has highlighted a lack of access to health cover, as ADA on Health activists there lobbied forequal access to health insurance. Join the Make it Ageless virtual march! Make it Ageless Meanwhile, young people in Europe are standing up for older people’s rights throughHelpAge’s Make it Ageless campaign. With older people from developing countries, young Europeans aged 18-30 will lobby The European Union to include older people in their development policy and programmes. In solidarity with older people around the world, HelpAge Make it Ageless championsin Czech Republic, Ireland, Slovenia, Kenya and the Netherlands are spending a week finding out what it is like to grow older. Mama Brigita, 64, from Kenya is the sole carer of eight orphaned grandchildren. Older women’s struggle Older women continue to face discrimination, and suffer from being older and female, points out HelpAge on International Women’s Day, 8 March. HelpAge reports that in Tanzania, many older women are victims of violence and are often accused of witchcraft. In Kenya, older women who lose their husbands and children to HIV and AIDS related illnesses struggle as they become sole carers of their grandchildren. HelpAge has helped raise awareness of older women’s rights, including training paralegals on theinheritance rights of older women and orphaned children. But more needs to be done for real change to happen, and especially to ensure older women’s rights are protected in national laws. View our International Women's Day photo gallery. Richard Blewitt, HelpAge International CEO receiving the Hilton Humanitarian Prize. Recognition for older people HelpAge International has been awarded the 2012 Conrad N. Hilton Humanitarian Prize. The US$1.5 million prize recognises HelpAge’s work in assisting and advocating for disadvantaged older people. “Older people are often forgotten or ignored… the work of HelpAge gives voice to the voiceless,” said Archbishop Desmond Tutu in a video message to HelpAge. “This award is especially meaningful to draw attention to global ageing and the hurdles older people face,” said HelpAge International’s CEO, Richard Blewitt. At the award ceremony, held in Washington D.C. on 16 April, Blewitt said: "This award is a tribute to the millions of older people throughout the world who struggle daily with extreme poverty and discrimination. This award is theirs and it is our privilege to support them." Useful reading §  Ageing and Development 31, the last printed issue of A&D, reports on how little humanitarian aid is going to older people and discusses what the right to health means for older people. §  Dementia: a public health priority. This report by Alzheimer's Disease International and the World Health Organization calls on governments to address the increasing challenges that dementia poses on a global, national, regional and local level. §  Right to life without violence in old age. This newsletter highlights problems and practical information on domestic violence against older people. §  The case for an integrated model of growth, employment and social protection by the World Economic Forum, calls for social protection to deal with current economic challenges and the global jobs crisis. §  Population ageing and health, The Lancet 379(9823), argues against ageing being framed in negative terms, saying it should be a cause for celebration.

UPON hearing counsel the Court made the following


O R D E R


S.L.P.(C) Nos. 13075 of 2006 and 9309 of 2005


Despite the order passed by this Court on 13.2.2012, the petitioners have taken no steps to serve  the unserved respondent and to serve chamber summons on the proposed legal representatives of the deceased sole respondent in the aforesaid matters respectively.
 

Office Report dated 29.3.2012 has been perused by us, which clearly reflects that the petitioners have taken

no steps in this regard. The matters were again listed on 30.3.2012 and then were posted for today. During

this period also, the petitioners did not care to complete the service, as mentioned in our earlier order.
This shows the callous and negligent attitude of the petitioners in prosecuting their matters.


In the light of this, the aforesaid two special leave petitions are hereby dismissed. The applications for condonation of delay in filing substitution application and substitution of legal representatives of the deceased respondent are also dismissed in S.L.P.(C) No. 9309 of 2005.


Other Special Leave Petitions  Delay in filing the Special Leave Petitions is condoned.


After having heard Mr. P.P. Malhotra, learned Additional Solicitor General at length and after perusal of the impugned order, in the facts and circumstances of the cases, we are not inclined to interfere against the
impugned orders passed by the High Court. The Special Leave Petitions are hereby dismissed.
