s 18 Guardian may support infant out of income
18.—(1) A guardian of the property of an infant may make reasonable provision out of the income of such property for his maintenance and education, having regard to his station in life; but no sum exceeding $100 per month may be so applied without the permission of the court.[27/2014] [Act 25 of 2021 wef 15/10/2024] (2) Where the income of the infant’s property in the hands of the guardian is insufficient for such purpose, or money is required for the infant’s advancement, the court may order that provision for such purpose be made out of the capital of the infant’s property, and for such purpose may authorise the sale or mortgage of any part of the infant’s property, and give such directions in regard thereto as may be necessary in the interests of the infant.[27/2014]
