If the GPA deed authorised the power holder to sell the property on behalf of the principal/grantor of the power of attorney, then ther may not be any legal infirmity to sell the property by the power holder.
If he has not passed the sale consideration amount to the principal, then the principal can send a legal demand notice demanding the amount due to him, failing to respond to the notice, your son can sue him in the civil court with suit for money recovery.
