Case Law Details
Dr. Elizabeth Rajan Vs Inspector General of Registration (Madras High Court)
Facts- The interesting question that arises for consideration in this appeal is, whether a Power of Attorney executed outside India is in compliance with Section 14 of the Indian Notaries Act, 1952 and its authentication.
Conclusion- The Court has held that even though there might be no reciprocity between India and another country under Section 14 of the Notaries Act, 1952, the notarial acts of the Notaries in the foreign country could be given legal recognition by the courts and authorities in India.
Held that it is a vexatious litigation filed by the appellant, as neither any reason was furnished for not going before the Civil Court nor explanation was given for the delay and laches. In such circumstances, it is too much to say that the court has to give indulgence to the appellant, who is guilty of delay and laches.
In the light of the above, we do not find any error or infirmity in the order of the learned single judge and it needs to be confirmed.
