Talluri Venkata Seshayya vs Thadikonda Kotiswara Rao on 20 November, 1936

According to the learned Judge [Meredith J.] the substantive right to an infant, on attaining majority, to avoid a decree obtained against him owing to the gross negligence of his next friend was undoubtedly recognised in England from early times. T he Privy Council in Talluri Venkata Seshayya v. Thadikonda Kotiswara Rao (AIR 1937 P. C. 1) (supra) has also pointed out that protection of minors against the neglect acting of their guardians is a special one. In the instant case, the High Court has proceeded on the basis that it is permissible for a minor to file a suit to set aside a decree on the ground of gross negligence on the part of his next friend. We are in agreement with the said view.
