It is well settled that under Hindu Law the father has special powers of alienation of joint family property including the son's share either for legal necessity or for the benefit of the estate. He can also sell joint family property including the son's share for the discharge of antecedent debts, which are not Avyavaharika i.e., which are not tainted by illegality or immorality. Sub-section (3) of Section 8 of the Hindu Minority & Guardianship Act further provides that any disposal of the immovable property by the natural guardian in contravention of sub-section (1) or sub-section (2) is voidable at the instance of the minor or any person claiming under him. It must be remembered that the Section applies only to minor's separate property, but it does not apply to his interest in joint family property. -2015 A.P.(1998) MSK LAW REPORTS
