AGP for Respondents/State : Mr. S.K. Shirse … CORAM : ROHIT W. JOSHI, J. DATE : 1st OCTOBER 2026 PER COURT : 1. The present appeal is filed under Section 47 of the Guardian and Wards Act, 1890 to challenge the order dated 09.04.2018 passed by the learned District Judge-10, Aurangabad in M.A.R.J.I. No. 89 of 2017, whereby the application filed by the present Appellant seeking a guardianship certificate in respect of her major son came to be rejected. It is not in dispute that the son is about 50 years of age. The application seeking a guardianship certificate was filed on the ground that the son suffers from 70% disability. A perusal of the disability certificate indicates that the son suffers from locomotor disability on account of amputation of the right leg below the knee. A perusal of Section 7 of the Guardian and Wards Act, 1890 indicates that the appointment of a guardian under the said provision can be made only in respect of a minor. 2026:BHC-AUG:45908 2 908.FA-3231-2021.doc 2. In view of the above, the application was rejected solely on the ground that the son of the Appellant is not a minor. This Court finds no legal infirmity in the impugned order passed by the learned District Judge. The appeal is, therefore, dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ROHIT W. JOSHI JUDGE NAJEEB..
