A.Dear Client
As per Article 60 of the Limitation act a minor can file suit for setting aside or cancelling the sale within three years from the date of attaining majority and not after that. Ask the person to take action if his case is within the time limit.

A.Dear client,
Whether a transfer of immovable property by a natural guardian in contravention of Section 8 (1) and (2) of the Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act, 1956 can be challenged by way of a suit by the minor only within the prescribed period of three years from attaining majority.
Thank You.
