MANIK CHAND AND ANR. vs RAMACHANDRA SON OF CHAWRIRAJ

The Supreme Court held that a contract entered into by a guardian on behalf of minors is enforceable under Hindu Law, specifically referencing the Hindu Minority Act, 1956. The Court clarified that while minors lack the legal capacity to contract, their natural guardian can bind them if the contract benefits the minor. The Court overturned the High Court's dismissal of the suit for specific performance, emphasizing that the guardian's actions are valid and the contract is binding under the Transfer of Property Act.
