Akshay vs Aditya 2024 INSC 657 – NCDRC – Power Of Attorney

Summary: Dismissing appeal against NCDRC order, SC observed: I clearly transpires that undisputedly an irrevocable power of attorney dated 6-7-2013 was executed by the appellants in favour of the Respondent No.2 along the JAV of the same date, pursuant to which the Respondent No.2 had undertaken to develop the land in question. It further appears that though allegedly the said power of attorney was revoked by the appellants vide the letter dated 12-8-2014, the JAV has not been revoked so far and the same still continues to be in force-In the letter daeted 12-8-2014, the appellants had stated to be not liable “Henceforth”, i.e. after the said letter was sent. The appellants therefore were bound by the acts/deeds of the Respondent No.2 carried out pursuant to the irrevocable Power of Attorney till it was terminated, in accordance with law. It is also not denied that the appellants have not taken any action whatsoever against the respondent No.2 with regard 8 to the alleged non-compliance of the terms and conditions of JAV by the said Respondent. Under the circumstances, it does not lie in the mouth of the appellants to say that the appellants are not liable for the acts of Respondent No.2.
