Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court examined whether the power of attorney granted to the 1st defendant was valid and whether the subsequent sale deeds executed by him were legally binding. The Court analyzed the validity of the PoA, its notarization, and the authority it conferred to the 1st defendant to sell the immovable property. The Court held that the cancellation of the PoA prior to the sale rendered the sale deeds invalid, emphasizing the importance of proper authority in property transactions. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's decision in favor of the plaintiff.
