Legaly there is no problem, but, practicaly the courts are not entertaining for appointing POA by Plaintiff, in the middle of the trial.

Many persons goof up for POA and imagine that donnee of POA can replace the principal and take twisted conclusion of higher court citations .

Please note that section 60 of evidence has not been over ruled instead it is affirmed in all such rulings that a person can appear and testify for the things/events which he knows personally and not on hearsay.
