There is no special provision of law to protect property of minor. The case of cheating will lie having the same course of action.

Natural guardian can use minor fund there is no bar. But If any body has been cheated he may file FIR against builder.

Minor's account fund protection from whom, parents, legal guardian, or third party (builder) when guardians have made the transaction? Your query seems to be incomplete without such information.
You have also not mentioned whether the minor's account was opened by the parents/guardian out of affection or by guardians on court order?

If the funds used by the guardian not for the benefit of minor, he is liable.

It is a case of cheating which has to be dealt with as per all other cheating cases, why do you want to brand it as minor's fund etc. ? to draw importance so that the offender can be dealt with much more harsher punishment/treatment? There is nothing wrong in the natural guardian using the minor's fund for the welfare of the minor child.

Natural guardian of the minor is merely a guardian to look after and to take care of the minor but side by side he cannot act as a manager of the estate of the minor. Bank account of the minor is minor's estate which cannot be operated without any authority of law. It is strange how the Banker allowed you to operate a minor's account. I am sorry to say that you might have been suppressing something, otherwise Bank would not allow you to operate minor's account.

The author may also state what concern actually he has with the funds of minor's account when used by the natural guardian.

You are also advised to file a civil suit for recovery of money and side by side you can register an F.I.R. against the cheater IN THE LOCAL THANA WHERE THE MONEY WAS TRANSACTED FOR CHEATING. Take help of a local lawyer.

1. File criminal complaint if cheating has been found to be committed. 2. The money of minor can be used for his/ her benefit otherwise even the naturan guardian (whether appointed or not) is responsible. 3. Engage a local lawyer

It is not clear that the agreement was made with builder in name of minor or only consideration paid was withdrawn from minors account by the guardian. To me it is vital to decide if guardian and builder both have cheated the minor or guardian cheated minor and builder cheated guardian.

Thanks to all for quick reply. Actually i paid money by cheque from my daughter's a/c operated by me as a natural guardian my daughter is 4 years old.
Cheater builder has taken money & promissed to make registration but since one year he is neither doing so nor giving money back i had lodged complaint in police station PSI told me he has been cheating with many people same like this and directed me to file section 156(3)cr.pc.
my query is the fund was used from minors a/c so that court can order builder to return the money in protection of minors fund.
