Dear Querist

You don't have locus standi to file the suit.

The law is that a Civil Suit can be filed either by plaintiff or through his agent. Meaning thereby suit would be filed by your son and daughter as plaintiffs through you being their agent.

You need Power of attorney for the purpose of filing suit, appearance, giving evidences etc.

@ NRV,

You have stated in your query, inter alia,

".......thirty five years back in a layout father purchased two plots one was on daughters name, one was on son name......."
The title of plots vests with daughter and son whereas father has no locus to initiate any action.

Facts posted are too vague and confusing, redraft.

The father/mother needs to get power of attorney and thereafter can file the suit as agent for the son/daughter.
