Poopandi vs Jeyaram — 8/2026

The court permitted the father (petitioner Poopandi), as natural guardian, to sell his minor daughter Pandimeena's 1/3 share of inherited property under Section 8(2)(b) of the Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act, 1956, finding justifiable necessity to fund her education and welfare. However, rather than the agreed private sale to the proposed purchaser for Rs. 45 lakhs, the court mandated a public auction conducted by an Advocate Commissioner to ensure the best price for the minor's interest, with proceeds deposited in a fixed deposit in her name until majority.
