Coop society secretary as a witness in s.138

sir,

  i am for a coop society in delhi.it is a thrift and credit society. we have filed a case of s.138 against a defaulter. 

now  his lawyer is saying that he will call secretary of society as witness/evidence. our secretary comes only in a month in delhi. I mean it is very much troublesome for us if our secretary has to appear in court.

I would like to know whether it is possible to call secretary when power of attorney has been given to authorise representative of the society.

please guide me.

A witness is a person who is aware of the facts of the case. Thus, POA in such circumstances is not valid.

 

Person who is being asked to be present as a witness, has to appear in perosn only.
