Sale of late mother's agricultural land in maharashtra

Kapil Tiwari (Querist) 29 August 2016 This query is : Resolved
My friend's mother passed away in March 2014. She owned a piece of agricultural land in rural Mahrashtra which was subsequently transmitted to her 4 children. Three children reside in Mumbai and one in Rajasthan.

Since all the four children cannot go to the village to sell the land, they wish to execute a Power of Attorney in favour of my friend who will then go alone to the village and get the sale deed for the agricultural executed and registered at the sub-registrar's office.

My queries are:

1) Is agricultural land sale allowed in Maharashtra if my friend goes to enable the sale on the basis of a "Power of Attorney"?

2) Should this Power of Attorney be notarised or is it necessary that the POA should be registered at the sub-registrar's office where the brothers/sisters reside?

3) Since 3 children reside in Mumbai and one child resides in Rajasthan, will two POA's have to be executed and registered - one in Mumbai and one in Rajasthan?

Thanks in advance.
