Thankamma George vs Lilly Thomas

The Supreme Court held that the Power of Attorney executed by the Appellant in favor of Respondent No. 1 did not authorize the latter to sell the property to a third party, as it was contrary to the principal-agent relationship established. The Court emphasized that any sale executed without proper authority is void ab initio under the Transfer of Property Act. The Court ruled in favor of the Appellant, declaring her as the sole title holder of the suit property and ordering recovery of possession from the Respondents.
