Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act, 1956 – Natural Guardians – Section 6 and 8 – A Karta is the manager of the joint family property – He is not the guardian of the minor members of the joint family – What Section 6 of the Act provides is that the natural guardian of a minor Hindu shall be his guardian for all intents and purposes except so far as the undivided interest of the minor in the joint family property is concerned HELD In such an eventuality it would be the mother alone who would be the natural guardian and, therefore, the document executed by her cannot be said to be a void document
