The District Judge exercises parens patriae jurisdiction over minor property. Any alienation made without demonstrating evident necessity for the minor welfare is invalid in the eyes of law.
Under Section 30 of the Act, any disposal of immovable property without prior judicial permission is voidable at the option of the minor child upon attaining majority.
Under Article 44 of the Limitation Act 1908, the aggrieved party must institute a suit within 3 years from the date of attaining age 18 to set aside the transfer deed.

The claimant can institute a civil suit under Section 39 and Section 42 of the Specific Relief Act 1877 before the Assistant Judge Court to cancel the deed and restore title.
Under classical Islamic jurisprudence and Bangladesh case law, a mother is a de facto guardian of property and has no legal authority to sell immovable assets without judicial sanction.
