DEED OF REVOCATION OF POWER OF ATTORNEY
(MUKHTARNAMA MANSOOKHI)
THIS DEED OF REVOCATION is made on 3 April 2026 at Jalandhar (Punjab)
BY
Harbhajan Singh Sandhu, son of Late Sardar Gurdial Singh Sandhu, aged about 71 years, retired transport contractor by occupation, residing at X, holding Aadhaar No. X — hereinafter called "the Donor", and referred to in this deed as "I", "me" and "my", which expression includes my heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives.
CONCERNING THE AUTHORITY GIVEN TO
Jaswinder Singh, son of Sardar Mohinder Singh, residing at X — hereinafter called "the Attorney".
The Attorney is not a party to this deed, has not signed it, and his consent to it is neither required nor implied. Where this deed calls upon the Attorney to do or to refrain from doing anything, it does so by way of a demand founded on the duties the Indian Contract Act, 1872 already puts upon an agent, and not by way of any covenant by him: a person who has not signed an instrument is not bound by a promise written into it.
RECITALS
WHEREAS I ordinarily reside in India.
AND WHEREAS by a General Power of Attorney dated 1 April 2026, executed at Southall, United Kingdom (the "said Power of Attorney"), I appointed the Attorney, who is my late brother's son, to act for me and in my name.
AND WHEREAS the said Power of Attorney authorised the Attorney, in substance, to: manage, cultivate, let out on theka, receive theka money for, appear before the revenue authorities in respect of, and sell, mortgage or otherwise transfer my share in the agricultural land comprised in Khewat No. 214, Khatauni No. 331, Khasra Nos. 45//2, 45//3 situated in village Bhullarai, Tehsil Phillaur, District Jalandhar, and to operate Savings Account No. 000123456789 with Punjab National Bank, Phillaur Branch
AND WHEREAS the said Power of Attorney was registered in the office of the Sub-Registrar, Phillaur, District Jalandhar on 2 April 2026, bearing Document No. 2318 dated 14.08.2017, Book No. IV, Volume 41, Pages 96-99; and the index of that office will go on showing a live power until this revocation is brought on to its record, which is what clause 4 of this deed and the intimation at Annexure B are for.
AND WHEREAS the said Power of Attorney was notarised before Shri R. S. Bajwa, Notary Public, Jalandhar, at Serial No. 1806 of 2017 of the notarial register.
AND WHEREAS the said Power of Attorney related, among other things, to the immovable property described in the Schedule below; and a power of attorney is not an instrument of transfer. The said Power of Attorney did not, and could not by itself, convey to the Attorney or to any other person any title to or interest in that property. A transaction of sale by way of power of attorney, agreement to sell and will conveys no title and is not a valid mode of transfer of immovable property, as the Supreme Court held on 11 October 2011 in Suraj Lamp & Industries (P) Ltd. (II) (Suraj Lamp & Industries (P) Ltd. (II) v. State of Haryana, (2012) 1 SCC 656). Nothing in this deed is to be read as admitting that any title, interest or possession passed under the said Power of Attorney, or as confirming any entry made in any revenue or estate record on the strength of it.
AND WHEREAS I no longer wish the Attorney to act for me, for the following reason: the purpose for which the authority was given has been served, I have not been rendered any account of the theka money since 2021, and I now propose to deal with the said land myself
AND WHEREAS I have decided to revoke the said Power of Attorney to the extent set out below, and to give notice of that revocation to the Attorney, to the registering officer, to the offices that keep the record of whatever the said Power of Attorney concerned, and to the public at large.
NOW THIS DEED WITNESSES as follows.
1. Revocation
1.1 I hereby revoke, cancel, annul and determine the said Power of Attorney, so far as the said Power of Attorney was given by me, with effect from the execution of this deed and subject to clauses 3.2 and 4.1 below. Except so far as this deed expressly identifies authorities as continuing in force, this revocation extends to the whole of the said Power of Attorney and to every authority, power and discretion contained in it, including every authority to appoint a substitute.
This deed accordingly revokes part only of the said Power of Attorney. The following authorities under the said Power of Attorney are not revoked and continue in force, and every other authority, power and discretion contained in the said Power of Attorney is revoked: the authority to let the said land on theka for a term not exceeding eleven months at a time and to receive the theka money on my behalf
For the avoidance of doubt, the authorities revoked by this deed include, without limitation: the authority to sell, exchange, gift, mortgage or otherwise transfer the said land or any part of it, the authority to execute or present any document for registration or to admit execution before any Sub-Registrar, the authority to apply for or consent to any mutation, and the authority to receive any sale consideration or earnest money
1.2 To the extent so revoked, the said Power of Attorney is at an end, and the Attorney has, to that extent, no authority to act for me, in my name or on my behalf; to sign, execute, present for registration, admit execution, receive, deposit, withdraw, contract, compromise, apply for mutation, take or deliver possession, or appear for me before any court, revenue officer, registering officer, estate authority, bank or other person; or to represent to any person that any such authority subsists. Where this deed revokes part only of the said Power of Attorney, this clause applies only to the authorities revoked by it, and the authorities identified above as continuing in force are unaffected.
2. Nature of the agency
2.1 The said Power of Attorney was not given for consideration, and no interest in any property or in the subject matter of the agency was created in favour of the Attorney. The agency is therefore revocable at my instance under section 201 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872.
2.2 I make this revocation in exercise of such right as I have under sections 201 and 203 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872, and I intend this deed to serve as the reasonable notice contemplated by section 206 of that Act.
3. Notice to the Attorney
3.1 A signed copy of this deed shall be served on the Attorney, at the address stated above, by registered post with acknowledgement due, within seven days of the date of execution of this deed and in any event before this deed is presented for registration; and a scanned copy shall be sent by email to X, which supplements that service and does not replace it.
3.2 Under section 208 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872, the termination of the Attorney's authority does not take effect, so far as regards the Attorney, before it becomes known to the Attorney. Proof of despatch, the postal receipt and the acknowledgement due card shall be obtained, preserved with this deed, and produced at the registering counter when this deed is presented, so that the date of knowledge is on the public record and not merely in my own file.
4. Notice to the world: publication and intimation to the public offices
4.1 Under section 208 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872, this revocation does not take effect as regards third persons before it becomes known to them. I shall therefore intimate this revocation to every office whose record a person dealing with the said Power of Attorney would examine, in the terms of the annexures to this deed. As to publication: I shall publish public notice of this revocation, in the terms of the Public Notice at Annexure A, in the newspaper or newspapers named in this clause, and I shall preserve the original tear sheets with this deed.
The Public Notice at Annexure A shall be published in the Punjabi daily newspaper Ajit, Jalandhar edition, set in Gurmukhi script, and the complete printed page showing the masthead and the date of publication shall be preserved with this deed.
The Public Notice at Annexure A shall also be published in the English daily newspaper The Tribune, Jalandhar edition, and the complete printed page showing the masthead and the date of publication shall be preserved with this deed.
