She first needs to be appointed as the legal guardian of her insane person and then with the permission of the court she can sell the property.

take medical certificate as advised by Mr. Shroff, then go to court for the appointment of guardian and to get necessary permission.

Pray before District Judge for sale of property stating that for the benefit of insane son. The Dj could allow such permission,if sale is for the benefit of insane son.

As the medical certificate is already in your possession ,no fresh certificate is required.

The application has to be moved under section 52 of the MENTAL HEALTH ACT 1987,before the District Judge for appointment as guardian and manager of the property of the mentally ill son by his mother,where after the District Judge on an application under section 59(2)of the said Act by manager so appointed,can grant permission to mortgage, Create a charge on, or, transfer by sale, gift, exchange or otherwise, any immoveable property of the mentally ill person or to lease out any such property for a period exceeding five years, subject to such conditions or restrictions as that Court may think fit to impose.
