Format of a Plaint by a Minor or a person of Unsound Mind in a Civil Suit
Important points to remember-
Suit for and against a minor or a person of unsound mind are drafted as per Order XXXII of CPC:
Rule 1: Every suit by minor is instituted in his name by a person called "next friend".Rule 3: Where a defendant is a minor, the court shall appoint a proper person to be "guardian" for the suit for the minor. An order to appoint a guardian can be obtained upon application by the plaintiff or by the minor in his name or by the minor on his behalf.
Only difference between a regular suit and a suit by/against a minor is that the name of the next friend or guardian is specified along with the name of the parties.
