Hi,
Me and my in laws have settled our 498-a case and would like to go for quashing based on mutual settlement. I live outside India and cannot make it to the High Court. Can i give Power of attorney to my family member (also an accused ) . Does anyone have any judgement's from Supreme court / high court I can review for such situation.
thank you.

You have already engaged an able, competent and intelligent lawyer for advise and proceeding, seek his guidance.
You are working/living abroad, as stated by you and can afford to engage another lawyer, seek professional service without waiting for obligation of experts on this platform.

I myself on the basis of power attorney of all accused, husband and both his parents filled quashing petition for FIR u/s 498A, 406, 34 IPC in the Punjab & Haryana High Court.
This power of attorney was sent from Australia where all accused were living, duly attested and apostillised.
The mutual agreement was even signed by me on the basis of the settlement, rather I did the settlement on their behalf in the district court during divorce proceedings filled by wife, even on the basis of the POA of the husband, filled/signed petition, appeared and signed the statement for divorce by mutual consent.
What more expected from any lawyer.
