as per your query, your husband made POA on you, while so, the POA can made sale deed to others not herself, so the fact you executed POA as your favour, its not valid one deed. any way consult with lawyer.

where are you from ?

i am from pune.my querry is about the validity of poa registered abroad in 2010.Whether it is accepted by indian law when the person issueing the poa is present here in india.

The POA executed abroad but not registered in India in office of concerned registrar
is of no use in my view.

Moreover it should be understood that executing any POA by a person means appointing a agent hence principal can REVOKE POA any moment to terminate powers
of agent appointed.

Here HUSBAND is in India willing to sale can sale without any interruption from WIFE.
WIFE has no right to check HUSBAND as his POA.

Mr.Singh thanks for the convincing reply though the reply is not in my favor but the technical feasibility is clear.

You can explore your other rights as wife,such as creation of a charge on basis of your right to maintenance .Consulting local lawyer practicing civil side of law may prove beneficial.

A DV act proceeding for shared house can be even better idea as you can get injunction against him and he would not be able to sell but the cost of it would be loss of relationship between you two.

Then better you decide what to do?
as i saw you hopeless after my first advice
i have explored possibility of other remedies.
