The minor has to be represented by her mother and guardian in executing the sale deed in the recital of which all the relevant facts and circumstances have to be clearly stated. In the absence of any court order requiring the deposit of the minor's share in a bank account, it is not necessary to do so.

Sale of minors' property cannot be done without obtaining court's permission, the Supreme Court has held.

Under Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act, sale of such property cannot be done without prior permission of the court.

You do not have to deposit the share of the minor's bank account, until and unless it is ordered by the court.

Dear,

Supreme court give decision in such type of case that without the prior

permission of court you can't sell the share of minor and it should be used

for welfare, education of that minor only.

So file application in court and take permission.

It is not the responsibility or duty of the buyer to obtain permission from court to sell the property involving the mionr interest

The guardian of the minor child has to file a petition before court seeking permission of the court to sell the property of minor what an affidavit for the reasons and supporting documents.

You cannot deposit the minor's share of sale consideration amount in the bank directly, the guardian of the minor child will receive it on behalf of the minor child.
