I am a USA citizen and would like to file a suit in Hon'ble High Court. Can I give Spaecial power of attorney to my mother who is also USA citizen? or is it mandatory to give power only to Indian Citizen? what is the format of the special power of attorney

You can given power of attorney to your mother. This year in 2012 as regard giving Power of Attorney a landmark jugement has been given by the supreme court of India. You will get the judggement in the NET.

Dear Sir,

                 The documents can be presented before 120 days and not fifteen days as claimed by you.Please clarify whether it is enough if the POA is adjudicated which is less expensive compared to registration the fees for the later varies depending upon the relationship between the principal and agent. In tamilnadu if the relationship between the principal and agent is that of a relative as defined in the rules the registration fee s only Rs1000/ other wise it is Rs10000/. I understand with the adjudicated POA u can transact in real estate in india
