Meaning of a certain section in vakalatnama

That is not so, it is just wider term to enable Advocates to freely plead cases and yes the Advocates can make staments but without presence of Client they cannot enetr in to any compomise outside the court or inside the court without client's will or signatures. The Advocates can make compromise only upon instructions of Client and with out any signatures of Parties that is not valid anyways. And even if parties will complaint that Advocate acted without their instructions he will be in trouble.

·         While going through the Power of Attorneys Act 1882 - 

[1A. Definition. - In this Act, power-of-attorney includes any instrument empowering a specified person to act for and in the name of the person executing it.]

There is not any specific format or template designed by the Act to be used as POA, it should fulfill the requirements under act and you can fetter the powers and grant only limited powers to your attorney acting on your behalf. Though we use mostly the traditionally accepted format of VAKALTNAMA, though Rule 4 of Order III CPC requires a signed document POA to let a pleader plead on behalf or client. You can mention only terms necessary and remove  what powers you don’t want to grant or mend them as “without written permission the advocate is not authorized to enter into any compromise or withdrawal, or make any statement ‘ etc.
