1. The suit out of which this appeal has arisen was brought by the plaintiff-appellant to recover certain property sold by his mother Musammat Bhawani, during his minority on the 7th of July 1896. The plaintiff attained majority on the first of July 1901 and instituted the suit on the 14th of August 1907.

The lower appellate Court held that the sale by the mother was for the benefit of the minor to the extent of Rs. 285, that is to say, that there was necessity for raising that sum for the benefit of the minor and to save his other property, and that to that extent the minor was liable.
