Hello Lawyers,
Please guide me as to which is more effective, General Power of Attorney or Special Power of Attorney.
My Father is Plaintiff in a Civil Suit, and due to his age he finds it difficult to attend the Court Hearings. Although his presence is not required for any kind of cross-examination or deposition. Hence, he wants me to attend in lieu of him.
He is planning to move an application to the Court under Order III Rule 1 & Rule 2 of Code of Civil Procedure for appointing me as his agent.
My specific query :-
1. What kind of Power-of-attorney should he execute in my favour ? General PoA or Special PoA ?
2. Which is more effective or has wider scope, GPA or SPA ?
3. Is the GPA or SPA required to be notarized by a 'Notary Public' ?
Please advice accordingly.
Regards,
Tushar Jha.
