Power of Attorney Of a partner

Yes POA can represent you and can act on your behalf. But finer point is he can depose in the court aonly the acts done by him after the grant of POA.

Your father can give a general power of attorney to a competant person to represent him in the court  litigations pending in Kolkata. But as mentioned by Expert Mr. Shashikumar the POA cannot depose in the court as witness on matters to which your father is direct witness. As regards dissolution of the Firm, your father will have to follow the terms and conditions of the Partnership deed. If the Partnership is at will he can dissolve the partnership by serving a notice in that behalf and call for settlement of  accounts. But before doing so your father should carefully consider the effect of dissolving the Firm during pendancey of the suits at Kolkata..

Thank you sir for your answers..

  As far as notice is considered. I would like to know. That we are residence of gujarat. .

Can we send the notice for dissolving the firm from gujarat and send the same across the concerns authority and partners in kolkata to shutdown the buissness. with immediate effect.  ?

Thanks.

You can issue the notice of resignation or dissolution from Gujarat. Better consult your local advocate in the matter. He will issue a suitable notice (dissolution or resignation) after going through teh partnership deed. 

The very purpose of POA is to act on behalf of other person
