Sir,
1. In the instance , the property of the minor would be governed by section 8 of the Hindu minority and guardian ship Act 1956 Act , which does NOT allow guardian to sale property without prior permission of the District Judge.
2. You can file application to the district judge u/sec.8 of this Act , but The application should have to justify the need of sale for the benefit of the minor. Such as , educational expenses or otherwise general maintenance .

Hi
For any minor property court permission is mandatory. The owner's wife has to just submit the following
a) Death certificate
b) family member certificate and
c) an Undertaking that she is the mother and natural guardian of the children and she will keep the share of the sale proceeds accruing to the children as Fixed deposit in a National bank. The court will grant her permission with in 90 days if there are no claimants.
the owner's wife can appoint a lawyer who will do all of the things required and she needs to attend court only twice.
better ask the owner's wife to get the court permission for her own benefit and also your benefit.

As the agreement holder i.e. landowner has died his legal heirs are legally bound to execute the benefit to you under the said agreement. As such, if the legal heirs are minors, court permission is required to dispose the minors property but in your case the agreement has already been entered by the deceased and it is only the executory part of agreement that is pending, Hence, Affidavit by mother shall serve the purpose. Pls. stand corrected that the concerns regarding "court visits are wrong". The parties are rep. by advocates and you only need to attend to give evidence and need not appear regularly.
