My elder brother, a Sunni Muslim, has been serving a life sentence in Sagar, Madhya Pradesh for the past 10 years. He was originally arrested in Indore, Madhya Pradesh under sections 364(A) and 120(B). He’s from Wardha, Maharashtra, where he has a house he wants to sell to support his wife and two daughters. I’m taking care of his family and legal matters. Could you please advise if he can legally sell his house while in prison?

Yes, your brother can legally sell his house while in prison. Under Indian law, prisoners retain the right to manage their property, including selling it. He can authorize you as his power of attorney to handle the sale on his behalf. However, it’s recommended to consult a lawyer to ensure proper legal procedures are followed.
