Madhegowda (D) By Lrs vs Ankegowda (D) By Lrs & Ors

The Supreme Court examined the validity of a sale deed executed by a guardian on behalf of a minor under the Indian Contract Act, 1872. It was held that Smt.Madamma, as the guardian of Smt.Sakamma, had the authority to sell her sister's share of property, making the sale deed voidable rather than void. The Court upheld the High Court's decision granting half-share in the property to the successors of Ankegowda, confirming that Smt.Sakamma's subsequent sale was invalid without annulling the earlier deed within three years of attaining majority.
