This query is : Resolved
sir,we bought & registered 1 acre of land in 2004 from a group of people one of whom has expired since. this person has a minor son his father asssumed guardianship at that time &signed the documents on his behalf. now in 2010 this minor has thru a court guardian filed a suit reclaiming the said property for himself. my clarifications are 1)what is the validity of this suit filed by him? 2)what is the time limit for filing such suits/validity of such suits from the date of registeration of the original sale deed?
thank you.

For filing a suit time limit is three years from the date of majority.

There is another option to question the sale deed within 12 years from the date of the transaction.

without the permission of the court father cannot sell the property of minor. If it is father's self acquired property then he can dispose of it.
Within 3 years of attaining majority is right.
