Case of KS Shivappa vs Smt K Neelama, SC Judgement Dated 7th October 2025. A minor, on attaining majority, need not necessarily file a suit to cancel a voidable sale executed by his guardian without court permission. Such sale can be validly repudiated by unequivocal conduct within limitation, such as by executing a fresh sale. The Court clarified that earlier decisions did not lay down that a suit is the only way to repudiate a voidable transaction. The apex court held minors subsequent sale to KS Shivappa constituted valid repudiation of the guardian’s earlier voidable sale.
