Chowdamma (Dead) By Lrs. and Another, has held that instituting a suit on behalf of minor by a next friend or to represent a minor Defendant in the suit by a guardian ad litem is a time-tested procedure which is in place to protect the interests of the minor in civil litigation. The only practical difference between a “next friend” and a “guardian ad litem” is that the next friend is a person who represents a minor who commences a lawsuit; guardian ad litem is a person appointed by the Court to represent a minor who has been a Defendant in the suit.
