Nikhil Ganesh Ghayal vs Nil — 1/2026

Court Decision Summary The Mehkar District Court allowed the application to sell agricultural land belonging to minor Nikhil Ghayal under sections 8 of the Hindu Minority and Guardian Act, 1956 and 29 of the Guardian and Wards Act. The court found that selling the inconvenient riverine land in Gut No. 13 and purchasing better quality adjacent land serves the minor's benefit and welfare, particularly to fund his higher education. The applicants were directed to reinvest the sale proceeds in purchasing new land in the minor's name within six months.
