Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the requirements for granting a Power of Attorney (POA) to an agent for filing cases in the Central Administrative Tribunal. While a vakalatnama for a lawyer is often sufficient, authorising a separate agent typically requires a General Power of Attorney (GPA) on stamp paper. The consensus suggests a GPA on Rs. 50/- stamp paper, potentially requiring registration, though some advise a lawyer can act as your POA without additional documentation. Stamp duty varies by state, but Rs. 50/- is common, and notary attestation is usually optional.

For Tribunal case purposes, you can give vakalat to a lawyer, and then it does not require separate authorisation. If you wish to authorise any agent as per your wish, then you have to execute a GPA on Stamp worth Rs.50/- authorising the Agent to act on behalf of you in your Tribunal case purpose. It should be registered before the SRO concerned.

No such provision / requirement of granting power of attorney is there in an administrative case.
Your lawyer can proceed, if you have faith in him / her.

Stamp duty is differ state to state but it is generally Rs 50/-. No registration required. Notary attestation is optional. However as advised already an advocate also is a power of attorney holder on behalf of you.
