your sale is perfectly and valid the observation of supreme court in suraj lamp is for people who do not pay stamp duty and use POA as a sale deed without paying stamp duty  your transaction is perfect you have paid the stampduty on  the sathe khat and the consideration of the sale proceed was given to the owner so nothing left but the formality of registering the sale transaction which you did through POA that is valid as per the order of the supreme court in suraj lamp also have said specificaly in their last para as below :

"19. We make it clear that our observations are not intended to in any way affect the validity of sale agreements and powers of attorney executed in genuine transactions. For example, a person may give a power of attorney to his spouse, son, daughter, brother, sister or a relative to manage his affairs or to execute a deed of conveyance. "
