Mere contemporaneous execution of a power of attorney and agreement to sell, or a recital that the authority is irrevocable, does not by itself create title in immovable property. An agreement to sell also does not transfer ownership. Where no such interest exists, the authority ends on the principal's death and a later sale deed executed by the attorney cannot convey valid title. In an injunction suit, title may still be examined if it is directly linked to possession and the relief claimed. en-us Thu, 27 Feb 2025 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:12:47 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=766729 A general power of attorney becomes irrevocable under Section 202 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872 only where the agent has a legally secured interest in the subject-matter of the agency and the authority is given to protect that interest.
