Muslim law doesn’t allow elder brother to sell minor siblings’ land without court-appointed guardianship: Gauhati HCThe Gauhati high court upheld a woman's land ownership acquired in 1975.

The woman's continuous possession for over thirty years proved decisive. Her successors are entitled to recover the land's possession.
