This deed is not a vakalatnama. A vakalatnama is the separate written appointment of an advocate under Order III Rule 4 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, which is signed and filed in the court's own record. This deed authorises a named person to instruct advocates and to act for the Principal; the advocate's vakalatnama must still be signed and filed in each case.
Executed at Pune, Maharashtra on 1 April 2026.
I, Sudeep Ramesh Sachdeva, son of Late Shri Ramesh Chand Sachdeva, aged about 46 years, resident of Flat 402, Ashok Residency, Baner Road, Pune 411045, holding PAN ABCDE1234F; Passport Z1234567 (the "Principal", and "I", "me" and "my"),
DO HEREBY NOMINATE, CONSTITUTE AND APPOINT Anil Ramesh Sachdeva, son of Late Shri Ramesh Chand Sachdeva, aged about 52 years, resident of 12 Prabhat Road, Lane 5, Pune 411004, holding PAN FGHIJ5678K; Aadhaar ending 4321, who is my elder brother (the "Attorney"),
to be my true and lawful attorney, to do the acts set out below in my name and on my behalf, on the following terms.
I am unable to attend personally to the conduct of the legal proceedings described below, and I wish a person I trust to instruct advocates and to take the steps that the conduct of those proceedings requires. This deed is executed of my own free will, with a full understanding of what it permits the Attorney to do in my name.
This deed appoints the Attorney as my recognised agent for the purposes of Order III Rules 1 and 2 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, and as a person duly authorised by me for the purposes of Order VI Rules 14 and 15 of that Code.
It does not appoint an advocate. Where an advocate is to be engaged, a vakalatnama in the advocate's favour must be signed — by me, or by the Attorney under the power at clause 6(a) — and filed in the case.
It does not make the Attorney a lawyer. The Attorney has no right to plead or argue on my behalf.
This deed covers: Civil suits, appeals, execution, and revenue, consumer, tribunal and arbitration proceedings.

All disputes concerning the ancestral property at Survey No. 214/2, Village Bavdhan, Taluka Mulshi, District Pune, including the partition suit filed by my cousins and any related revenue mutation proceedings.
