In a landmark decision, the Supreme Court has empowered minors reaching adulthood by enabling them to reverse property transactions made by their guardians without court approval, through their conduct.
Delivering the verdict on October 7, Justices Pankaj Mithal and Prasanna B Varale concluded that minors aren't obligated to file a lawsuit to repudiate these transactions.
This ruling stemmed from a case in Karnataka involving property sold without court consent, emphasizing the minors' ability to challenge such actions after reaching majority.
