No claim on ancestral property for a minor

Mother's agreement does not bind them at all. They have a birth right in ancestral property - which nobody can deprive them of

Thank u Bharat one question is that is there any limitation period for filing a partition suit....for the children

Dear Nitish,

Minor does not gain any benefit under the contract. Such a contract is not binding on the minor.

It is to be filed within 3 years after attaining majority.

mother cannot execute any agreement on behalf of minor's to dispose of their share.  If it was for the benefit of the minors and if she has got court order then she could have done it, but here nothing so after attaining the mjaority within 3 years minors can claim their share.

At the time settlement minor must have been given sufficient maintenance to the full and final satisfaction.

Mother must have filed a petition seeking permission of the court to enter into compromise on her bahalf and on behalf of the minors and which must have been allowed by the court.

First go through the decree passed by the court and the settlement memo filed in court. If it is done through court then nothing can be done. Otherwise these type of things will just create unending litigations and no one will enter into a settlement in family disputes.
