SRI NARAYAN BAL AND OTHERS vs SRI SRIDHAR SUTAR AND OTHERS

The Supreme Court examined the applicability of Section 8 of the Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act, 1956, regarding the sale of Joint Hindu Family property by the Karta. The Court held that the Karta cannot bind the minor's undivided interest in the family property without prior court permission, as stipulated in Section 8. The appeal was allowed, and the sale deed executed by the Karta was declared illegal and void due to the lack of necessary consent for the minors' interests.
