Yes. The Power of Attorney has powers to represent the principal in the law suit and even appoint lawyer for legal representation in the civil suit on behalf of the principal. The POA should be duly signed and authenticated for this purpose. The POA issued from foreign country are duly notarized in the foreign country and authenticated in India by the district office where the named attorney live.

The wife of the petitioner (on the basis of power of attorney given to her by her husband) will be in a position to submit /file papers/documents as may be required in the case to the Court.
HOWEVER, SHE WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO APPEAR AND ARGUE THE CASE HERSELF. She has to engage a lawyer for arguing the matter.
