Sir you don't need judgement Indian contract act is clear child cannot act as an agent. The child is not of legal age to enter such agreement
Dear Client ,
A Minor is an incompetent person to enter into a contract subject to certain exceptions. A contract becomes valid if it gives some benefit and not to required minor to bear any obligation.
Clearly given in contract act also. Besides various judgments.
No, you should be at least 18 years old and sound mind.
you need to be an adult to enter into contract
2) teenager cannot sell land on basis of POA
unable to find any judgments on the issue
For any reason power of attorney is only issued to the blood relatives and a person who is major teenager means what is below 18 means any power of attorney which is issued in favour of a minor who is not capable of entering into a contract is ballad ab-initio
No, only a major can obtain the POA to sale or purchase the land
You do not need a judgment.
Refer to the Indian Contract Act. it stipulates that a contract can only be entered by a major and by no one else.

minor cannot be appointed as an power attorney holder.
He should not be a minor if not then he can do the aforesaid
Yes If the teenager is above 18 years of age he or she can execute any contract In India.
You don't need any judgement for that purpose.
But if he or she is below 18 yrs of age then he cannot execute any contract but he can own property.
A teenager above the age of 18 can very well execute a registered sale deed as a power of attorney holder.
There is no legal infirmity in doing so.
For what you need judgment?
Ideally a POA should only be given to a trustworthy person whom one can trust to act on ones behalf. Any person who is above 18 years of age and of sound mind can appoint an Attorney.
A minor cannot be appointed as an attorney holder.
Any person can be a POA holder on behalf of other.
You need not require any judgement.
The POA with recitals is sufficient.
