Dear Sirs, I have a problem created due to illegal usage of power of attorney given by me to my close relative.
We had a joint family business,having 5 partners all family members,all of 5 had given power of attorney of one partner most elder to sign to legal documents on behalf of partnership firm.Instead of all 5 have to sign all documents all the time only one who got authority with this POA used to signed everywhere related with business of Partnership Firm.This POA also included assets to be sold in my personal name including car,plots,godowns which were then use in the business of partnership firm. This Power of Attorney was sign before Sub Registrar Office and duly registered in their records with photos affix on it.
I got separated from Partnership Firm, two years back and given that person a letter duly acknowledge by him not to use this power of attorney anywhere thereafter.
Now this POA is being used by holder to sold out one land in my name as a director of a private limited company.With this POA the attorney holder sign a sale deed in sub registered office.I planned to start a new business by buying land in the name of new private limited company,where i am director with 80% Shares.Rest 20% rests with another new family member.Due to some disputes raised in old partnership firm,and to take undue advantage to my new property,this attorney holder sold this land.I Already lodge complaint before Sub registrar,Collectors office,Land records department in this regard for cancellation of this false sale deed by usage of POA.
POA was given for partnership firm business,to sale property of my personal name and it was revoked by giving letter duly acknowledged, then how it can be use to sale property of a private limited company.Please Advice as i am in great trouble as to what to do next.How i can get this sale deed got cancell and again have land in my private companys name. Thankyou in advance for giving your valuable time in advicing this matter

Even if you had revoked the POA duly, you should had given a public notice of the same. How was the POA revoked and was it intimated to the sub registrar needs to be checked, further, without perusing through all the documents and supporting documents thereto it is very difficult to give an opinion. It is advisable to seek services of a local lawyer to advise and fend you.
