Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that three principals can jointly grant a power of attorney, affirming that the relationship of agency arises from a contract and does not violate the provisions of the Indian Contract Act. The Court clarified that the terms of the power of attorney dictate the agent's authority, and the trial court's dismissal of the plaintiff's suit was upheld, confirming the validity of the documents in question. The High Court's finding that the plaintiff was the absolute owner of the properties was also maintained.
