for an evident advantage to the ward.
(2) The order granting the permission shall recite the necessity
or advantage, as the case may be, describe the property with respect to which
that act permitted is to be done, and specify such conditions, if any, as the
court may see fit to attach to the permission; and it shall be recorded, dated
and signed by the Judge of the court with his own hand, or, when from any cause
he is prevented from recording the order with his own hand, shall be taken down
in writing from his dictation and be dated and signed by him.
(3) The court may in its discretion attach to the permission the
following among other conditions, namely,-
(a) that a sale shall not be completed without
the sanction of the court;
(b) that a sale shall be made to the highest
bidder by public auction before the court or some person specially appointed by
the court for that purpose, at a time and place to be specified by the court,
after such proclamation of the intended sale as the court subject to any rules
made under this Act by the High Court, directs;
(c) that a lease shall not be made in
consideration of a premium or shall be made for such term of years and subject
to such rents and covenants as the court directs;
(d) that the whole or any part of the proceeds
of that act permitted shall be paid into the court by the guardian, to be
disbursed there from or to be invested by the court on prescribed securities or
to be otherwise disposed of as the court directs.
(4) Before granting permission to a guardian to do an act
mentioned in section 29, the court may cause notice of the application for the
permission to be given to any relative or friend of the ward who should, in its
opinion, receive notice thereof, and shall hear and record the statement of any
person who appears in opposition to the application.
