Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellant's suit for cancellation of sale deeds executed by their mother, ruling that the mother, as the natural guardian, had the authority to sell the property belonging to the deceased father under the provisions of the Hindu Succession Act. The Court emphasized that the sale was executed for the welfare of the minor daughters and did not violate any legal provisions. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's findings that there was no illegality or perversity in the decision.
