Under the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007, rules may provide for:

Section 32(2)(a) specifically identifies the manner of holding an inquiry under section 5, subject to rules under section 8(1). Neither a new punishment overriding section 24 nor a statutory appeal to the High Court is created by this rule-making head. Legal representation requires separate consideration of section 17, the Advocates Act and controlling judgments.
