Minors in any society are a class of individuals that deserve certain safeguards and institutional protections. This paper will be divided into three sections. The first part consists of the introduction of the concept of capacity under the Indian Contract Act along with its statutory standing. In the second part, I will give my analysis as to why the concept of protection of minors should hold the highest importance as part of a contract through various case laws which have described its applicability within India and my opinions on the same. In the final part of the paper, I will provide my concluding remarks.
