Normally in such a situation the developer would have an irrevocable POA in his favour, it is irrevocable because it is agency/power coupled with interest. The Developer has a pre-existing interest under Development Agreement which is sought to be served by giving him the authority to sell. 

Be that as it may, nothing conclusive can be said without examining the agreements in question.

Thank you very much.

The problem rose because the developer met with an accident.

I understand as you said that full review of document is needed but is a sell deed mandatory for my seller the original owner ? Apartment deed is complete by the owner and developer.

Thanks again for the trouble taken

No, the owner of the land on which the  the building consisting of the said flat was developed by virtue of a Development agreement,  is not to have any sale deed from the Developer for the Owner's ahare of the Developed property. The Owner's share of the Developed property is already mentioned in the Joint Venture/Development Agreement. The Owner can sell the flats which fall in to his ahare. He should enclose the copy of the Development Agreement with the sale deed duly mentioning the clause of his share of the Developed property in the said Sale Deed, while selling the individual flats to his buyers.
