Disposal of immovable property of a minor by his natural guardian is

valid
void
voidable at the option of transferee
voidable at the option of minor

The correct answer is (c).

A minor is a person who has not attained the age of majority, which is 18 years in India. A minor cannot enter into a contract, including a contract for the sale of immovable property. However, a minor’s natural guardian, such as a parent or a guardian appointed by the court, can enter into a contract on behalf of the minor.

If a natural guardian disposes of a minor’s immovable property, the contract is voidable at the option of the transferee. This means that the transferee can either choose to enforce the contract or to rescind it. If the transferee chooses to rescind the contract, the minor’s property will be returned to the minor.

The other options are incorrect. Option (a) is incorrect because a contract entered into by a minor is void. Option (b) is incorrect because a contract entered into by a minor’s natural guardian is not void. Option (d) is incorrect because a contract entered into by a minor’s natural guardian is not voidable at the option of the minor.
