The holder of POA (Father of the petitioner) has filed the xerox copy of deed of power-of-attorney along with list of documents (Exhibit-5) and presented the petition (Exhibit-1) in court. Court has endorsed the document (zerox copy of POA deed) as Mark-5/1. Now, the POA holder (Father of the petitioner) has been appearing behalf of petitioner and does all acts in court.

Que: Can POA holder does all acts behalf of the petitioner in court though POA deed is not exhibited? Request for citation regarding this issue.

1. I think word enforceable has wrongly been used by you. It might have been maintainable. My reply is yes for limited purpose. If respondent has raised objection over the authorization of the POA holder in filing the petition and subsequent evidence then definitely such non-filing/non-production of original POA shall play a vital role. Zerox copy cannot be executed.

How you are concerned with the case of father, son & POA?
Better discuss the real problem with your own concern with the problem.
