It is not mandatory.
POA is nothing but a document of authority. A letter of authority may also serve such purpose which does not require any attestation.

in case of POA, sign of witnesses is mandatory.

Vinod,
As you want to file a civil suit for someone else.
One cannot file civil suit by authority letter.
Attestation on your POA is Mandatory.
Caution: POA holder cannot depose! [SC]

Pradeep vs Branch Manager Date of Judgment 27/07/07 of Kerala Highcourt in which it was held that attestation by witnesses is not necessary in given facts of the case.Thanks for your prompt response to all R/Experts

Questioners are becoming smart but still does not help.
The citation is for particular case.
There are many limitations for filing case by donee of POA which depends on each situation.

Mr. Bansal himself is a senior lawyer at Jind so he knows everything about his own 'brothers'.
Mr. Bansla sorry for my words which might have pinched you. I am always ready to help any person and you are my brother so how can I feel bad of you.

As you know by the judgments cited by you that there can not be a single answer in respect of every fact but if one do not want these points arguable attestation would always be a better choice always;else you already know in circumstances it may be oral also and play of 85Evidence Act is also well known to you.

The power of attorney to represent the case is not mandatory. It is only authority to represent the case.
