I have perused the representation. The very representation itself indicates that the petitioner has executed a power of attorney by appointing one Anandha Kumar. Pursuant to the said power deed, it appears that he sold the property. Now, the Sale Deed is sought to be cancelled. As long as the power deed is not cancelled and power of attorney is in existence, any act by the power agent will bind on the principle. If at all the power of attorney has not accounted for the principle, the remedy lies somewhere else in the civil court, not in the writ court, seeking a direction to cancel the document that too by the Registrar, who has no such power. 4.

Accordingly, this Writ Petition is dismissed. No costs. 29.07.2024 Speaking order / Non-speaking order Index : Yes / No : Yes / No sri 3/5
