FILED WITH: the Sub-Registrar, U.T., Chandigarh, 30 Bays Building, Sector 17, along with the deed presented for registration
IN THE MATTER OF: House No. 1234, Sector 21-B, Chandigarh, and of a Sale Deed made or applied for through a power of attorney.
I, Harpreet Singh Bedi, son of Sh. Mohan Singh Bedi, resident of House No. 3021, Sector 27-D, Chandigarh 160019, identified by Passport No. Z1234567 (the "Deponent"), do hereby solemnly affirm and declare as under.
1. Who I am, and what I hold
1.1 I am the holder of a General Power of Attorney dated 1 April 2026 (the "Power"), executed in my favour by Smt. Kamla Devi Sharma, son of Late Sh. Ram Lal Sharma, resident of House No. 1234, Sector 21-B, Chandigarh 160022 (the "Executant").
1.2 The Executant is the allottee of 100% share in House No. 1234, Sector 21-B, Chandigarh, being a residential house held on a freehold basis (the "Property").
1.3 The Power is registered at Serial No. 4521, Book No. IV, Volume No. 32, Page No. 118, in the office of the Sub-Registrar, U.T., Chandigarh, on 2 April 2026. The Power was notarised before a Notary Public practising at Chandigarh on 12 March 2024, at notarial register serial no. 2291. A copy of the Power, certified and attested by a Notary Public, is annexed to this affidavit, and the original is in my possession and is produced for inspection.
1.4 How the Power reached me, and the chain of authority behind it: The Power is a substituted power. It was made under a General Power of Attorney dated 4 February 2019 executed by Smt. Kamla Devi Sharma in favour of Sh. Rajesh Kumar Sharma, registered at Serial No. 1188, Book No. IV, in the office of the Sub-Registrar, U.T., Chandigarh, clause 9 of which expressly permits the appointment of a substitute. A certified copy of that principal power is annexed to this affidavit.
1.5 I am the person named as attorney in the Power. I am a major, of sound mind, and competent to swear this affidavit.
1.6 The Power was executed outside India, in United Arab Emirates. It was executed before, and authenticated by, a Notary Public in that country, whose signature has been apostilled — the authentication that section 33(1)(c) of the Registration Act, 1908 requires of a power given by a person who does not reside in India. It was first received in India on 4 April 2026, and it has been stamped in India within the three months allowed by section 18 of the Indian Stamp Act, 1899. It has been embossed by the Office of the Finance Department, Chandigarh Administration: embossed on 4 June 2026 vide receipt no. 1187.
2. That the Executant is alive
2.1 The Executant is alive as on the date of this affidavit. I have satisfied myself of that fact by direct enquiry and have not merely assumed it.
I last confirmed the position with the Executant directly, in person, on 3 April 2026, and nothing has since come to my knowledge that casts any doubt on this paragraph.
2.2 To my knowledge no proceeding for a declaration that the Executant is of unsound mind, and no insolvency proceeding against the Executant, is pending before any authority or court.
3. That the Power has not been revoked
3.1 The Power has not been revoked, cancelled, suspended, superseded, varied or otherwise determined, in whole or in part. It is valid, subsisting and operative as on the date of this affidavit.
3.2 No deed of revocation or cancellation of the Power has, to my knowledge, been executed, registered or published; no notice of revocation has been served on me or brought to my knowledge; and I have received no intimation from the Executant, or from anyone on the Executant's behalf, that the Power is at an end.
3.3 The Power is an ordinary agency. It is revocable by the Executant at any time, and it stands determined on the death, unsoundness of mind or adjudication as insolvent of the Executant under section 201 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872.
3.4 I am aware that under section 201 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872 an agency is terminated by revocation by the principal, by renunciation by the agent, by completion of the business, or by the principal dying, becoming of unsound mind or being adjudicated an insolvent; and that under section 208 of that Act the termination of an agent's authority does not take effect as regards the agent before it becomes known to him, or as regards third persons before it becomes known to them. It is because that knowledge lies with me, and not with the authority reading this affidavit, that this affidavit is asked for.
