Good evening,
We can help you better if you could specify your concerns with regards to your query.
If a father has bought property in the name of a son who is a minor (below 18 years of age) then the child can not keep the property, since the child is nor eligible to hold such property. There must be a person that is looking after the property for the child until they come of age. That property, will be the son's self acquired property. Self acquired property means any property that has been bought by one's own money. This type of property is one's own, hence no one can claim their rights of share on such property. The owner has absolute rights to use it any way s/he wishes to.
In this case, even if the child is a minor, the property was bought in their name, and hence when they become a major, they'll have all rights on such property, and no one can claim a share in that property, and if anyone approaches to claim a share in such property, they will be known as claimants. Unless claimants can prove that the property was purchased for the joint family purposes, or with the money earned from ancestral property, it'll be considered self acquired property.
