Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the validity of a power of attorney executed by Suprovabala Ghosh for the purchase of property under the Indian Registration Act, 1908. It was held that the power of attorney was valid despite the peculiar description of Suprovabala as the daughter of Babu Rangalal Ghosh, as it was executed in accordance with the law and followed by a registered indenture. The Court affirmed the rights of Suprovabala's daughters to inherit the property, emphasizing that possession and mutation of property in their names were legitimate, thereby upholding their claim against Amal's objections.
