Mahesh Chandra Bayan vs Manindra Nath Das And Ors. on 24 January, 1941
The Patna High Court has adopted the Madras view {vide Ganganand Singh v. Rameshwar Singh ('27) 14 AIR 1927 Pat 271, Mathura Singh v. Rama Rudra Prasad Sinha ('36) 23 AIR 1936 Pat 231), and has gone to the length of saying that gross negligence amounts to fraud and affects the proper representation of the minor and takes away the jurisdiction of the Court to pass a decree.
