A natural guardian’s alienation of a minor’s immovable property without court sanction or legal necessity is not void ab initio but voidable at the instance of the minor under Section 8(3) of the Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act, 1956 (HMGA). This protection is, however, not perpetual. Upon attaining majority, the erstwhile minor must repudiate\u2014either by suit within three years under Article 60 of the Limitation Act, 1963, or by unequivocal conduct relating avoidance back to the date of the transaction.<\/p>
