Rangammal vs Kuppuswami & Anr

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of a sale deed executed by a de facto guardian on behalf of a minor without court permission, under the principles of guardianship and property law. The Court held that such a sale deed is invalid, emphasizing that the burden of proof regarding the validity of the sale deed cannot be shifted to the minor defendant in a partition suit. The Court also ruled that the question of limitation does not apply to the minor in this context, thereby allowing the appeal and reversing the High Court's order.
