Indians planning to immigrate from India are normally worried as to how there affairs in India would be handled in there absence from India. They may appoint someone to act for and on there behalf, during there absence from India and ensure the smooth running of the day-to-day affairs in connection with there assets and liabilities in India. The obvious question, which comes to mind is as to the meaning and implications of a ‘power of attorney’ and the modalities for its execution.
Shri Somendra Khosla is a NRI, he is in the business of development of real estate and he is a man of substantial means, in my opinion, if he has decided to invest in the real estate in India, the genuineness cannot be doubted unless there is any evidence to the contrary.
