Fingerprint

Siraj udeen (Querist) 14 August 2023 This query is : Resolved
My query relates to a document registered in 1957

Following a proper application submitted by the husband, the sub registrar had then visited the home of applicant’s ailing wife to register a Power of attorney. After satisfactory verification ( registrar has a clear noting on document itself) and confirmation from witnesses the document was registered but there is no corresponding entry in fingerprint register maintained by SRO. Can someone now claim the registration as fraud due to missing fingerprint entry in register. Is there any time limitation applicable.

Thanks

Quick Summary

A user is concerned about the validity of a Power of Attorney document registered in 1957. Although the Sub-Registrar personally visited the ailing wife's home and verified the document with witnesses, there is no corresponding entry in the fingerprint register. The user seeks to know if this omission can be used to claim fraud and if any time limitations apply. Replies suggest the registrar's personal visit and notes indicating the executant was 'personally known' lend authenticity to the document, despite the missing fingerprint record.

The document is reported to have been registered in the year 1957 that too by the registrar himself by visiting the home of the executant.
Therefore there cannot be any doubt raised over its authenticity.
The documentary evidences viz., sub registrar's visit to home of the ailing executant itself is a proof to prove that the document is genuine and legally valid document.

The fingerprints taken at a Private residence (other than the sub-registrar office) is not a regular thumb impression register but in a separate register meant for Private residence/jail etc(other than the sub-registrar office).

Slightly different. Though flowing out of same transaction from home Registration of POA due to illness, this one relates to subsequent transaction where there is allegation that power agents thumb impression not recorded. Power agent was a well known person so th SR made a note that “personally known” in the register.

Thank you for you interest sir.

The SR made a note that " personally known" is nothing wrong. It is in the registration rules and registration SOs.
