Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in India

Re: can anyone file case against a minor

A suit can be filed by a minor only through his next friend if the defendant is a minor then teh court has to appoint a gaurdian for him

Re: can anyone file case against a minor

No, one cannot file a case against a minor in a criminal court. If an offence has been committed by a minor, below eighteen years of age, he needs to be sent to the Remand Home for underage, and proceedings will be commenced there.

However, if the allusion is to a civil suit, then the answer is the opposite. Yes, one can sue a minor through her / her guardian and/or next of kin. However, a minor cannot be sued in his/her personal capacity, since he/she is unable to contract.

I hope the answer is satisfactory.

Re: can anyone file case against a minor

Your question is incomplete/vague. No case can be filed against a minor in his personal capacity as no libility can be fastened to the minor.In criminal case no case can be filed against a minor upto 7 years even if he commits murder.
