Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision affirming the trial court's dismissal of the appellant's suit for cancellation of a sale deed executed by their mother, the second respondent, on the grounds that the sale was valid as it was for the benefit of the minor daughters. The Court emphasized that a natural guardian can sell minor's property for their welfare without prior court approval if it is in their best interest. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the legality of the sale deed dated 9th December 1988 under the principles of guardianship and property rights.
