T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Advocate) 20 June 2023
If it was the property of her deceased husband, the widow should have obtained permission to sell the minor's share in the property.
When did the minor become major by age.
If she had become major more than three years ago before filing the suit then the suit is not maintainable
