First confirm whether the transaction stated by you has been done or yet to be done.

A GPA Holder can also execute a Registered Sale Deed in his favour, subject to payment of total sale consideration made to the owner of the property and also payment of required stamp duty/duties. Since a GPA has already been executed, the seller's presence is not required, as practiced in Andhra Pradesh.

The Power of Attorney Holder is Not Barred by Law to Sell the Property to him self following up the Procedures.

The transaction was already made and duly registered after paying the full stamp duty and registration fees as per norms. Now some of my learned friend differs that this transaction is barred by Law. I am not able to get a presidence, where any Ld. Court issued an order or Orders to restrict that type of transaction.

It is wrong to say that the stated transaction is barred by law.
A GPA can act in dual capacity - one as a seller and another as a buyer. Therefore, there is no legal infirmity in the above transaction. It is perfectly valid. PLEASE DO NOT WORRY.
