The correct answer is (a) Section 10.
Section 10 of the Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act, 1956 states that “No person shall be entitled to dispose of or deal with the property of a Hindu minor merely because on the ground of his or her being the defacto guardian of the minor.”
This means that a person who is not the legal guardian of a Hindu minor cannot sell, mortgage, or otherwise dispose of the minor’s property. This is to protect the interests of the minor and to ensure that their property is not squandered by someone who may not have their best interests at heart.
Section 11 of the Act deals with the appointment of a guardian for a Hindu minor. Section 12 deals with the powers and duties of a guardian. Section 13 deals with the removal of a guardian.
