Civil56 sections7 chapters

This legislation establishes the Court of Wards to take over the supervision, management, and protection of the persons and properties of individuals unfit to manage their own estates, such as minors, mentally incapacitated persons, or heavily indebted landowners in Telangana. It applies to property owners, their legal heirs, appointed guardians, property managers, and revenue officials like Collectors. The law allows the government to safeguard private estates from financial ruin, resolve outstanding debts, manage land revenue, and ensure proper maintenance, education, and family allowances for vulnerable owners until they are capable of regaining direct control of their affairs.
