[...] II C. P. C. in the Court of the Subordinate Judge of Rashaye praying that the Court might be pleased to refer the matter in dispute between the parties to arbitration according to the terms of the agreement and to pass a decree in accorance with the award of the arbitrators. [...] The Opposite Party opposed the petition on the ground amongst others that the said agrement not validly executed by two minors who were represented therein by their mother was not enforceable as under the Mahomedan law the mother is not the legal guardian of the prperties of the minor and as the mother was not appointed a guardian of the properties of the minors by the Court.
