First it is to be determined whether public notice of Cancellation of GPA was published in local newspaper or not?..and who was the Karta and Manager of HUF? whether the co-sharer who cancelled GPA acted as a karta of HUF?..GPA executed by co-shares can not be cancelled by one of them as it was in respect of joint family property unless he was acting as karta and manager of HUF as stated above. Despite cancellation if the person has gone ahead with sale deed, u can approach the court for declaring the sale deed void. Also, it is to be determined whether cancellation came prior in time to sale deed?.

hi

as per the version submitted by u sir, in the point of view of the purchaser, will be a bonafide purchaser for value and in the point of view as a principal the matter has to be decided only through court of law by which only the purchaser can be put to hardship. but the purchaser has the chance of legal validity of sale based upon circumstnces and facts  of execution.

As the property is dwelling house and if one cosharer  cancelled the power before sale deed was executed,it will be difficult for purchaser to get the possession as the property cannot be partitioned.in this case the agent has acted negligently.

Only intimation to the agent regarding cancellation of PA is not sufficient.  Public notice in the local news paper is necessary.  Is there any document to show that information was given to the PA holder regarding the cancellation of PA by one of the coparceners.

The purchased will be the bonafide purchaser.

Without the valid document to show that PA was cancelled by the one of the co parcener, he cannot defend.

Was the property purchased in the name of the HUF by the Karta?
