Instead of other person means? The GPA holder (agent) can give evidence on behalf of principal if it is mentioned in GPA deed.

A person can give evidence only about the events that he has personally witnessed. GPA can give evidence only the f he has a personal knowledge of the event.

Only if he has been given the legal authority under a registered and adjudicated GPA, however in certain cases the principal has to attest personally.
