This is related to liability in case of torts . Minor will not be held liable in case of action for deceit .if the minor is entering into a contract then it is the responsibility of the other party to check whether he is a minor or not ...and if he obtains anything from the contract whether fraudulently or otherwise he shall not be liable to repay it

What is the exact provision from Indian contract act 1872?

Here we can use the provision of a minor can plead minority. Even if he obtains any amount by fraud, he shall not be held liable for it. This is mentioned under rules regarding minors position in a contract
