Validity of power of attorney.

Respected Advocates,

Please help in the below scenario.

Is the sale valid?

 

General Irrevocable Power of Attorney registered on 2004

Kamptee, Nagpur, Maharashtra

Total land: 3.81 Hectares 

4 Principles: Mr. A, Mrs. B, Mr. C, and Mr. D

Agent: Mr. E

Mr. A: 0; Mrs. B: 29 R; Mr. C: 1.81 H; Mr. D: 1.81 H

Hence, property is divisible.

Principle A, and B died in 2008.

Principle C, and D did not cancel the PoA.

Agent Mr. E sold 12 R land to Mr. X from Principle Mr. C's 1.81 H piece of land on 2012.

Is the sale valid?

Since  Mr.C ( principle ) is alive and he did not cancel his poa to sell land and land was sold from the share of C so sale is perfectly valid.

Thanks for your reply. Can you please let me know which act/section to refer for this clause?

A PoA has to be registered at the Sub-Registrar's Office to get a legal validity. Another important thing to note here is that a PoA remains valid only till the life of the principal.

Yes, it's registered at the sub registrar.

There were 4 Principals out of which 2 died and 2 are still alive.

The land sold by the agent was from one of the alive Principals part.
