It would further mean that the sale consideration of property of ₹ 2,50,000/- has already been received by Shri Umed Singh being original owner of the property. These facts and material on record clearly suggest that the assessee acted as a General Power of Attorney Holder of the property in question on behalf of Shri Umed Singh original owner of the property. The right of assessee as a General Power of Attorney holder was not greater to that of the owner of the property i.e. earlier right in favour of Shri Umed Singh and later on right transferred in favour of her husband Shri Vikas Shukla.

Umed Singh was an Officer with the Indian Army who due to his postings in different parts could not be present in Gurgaon at all times. Hence, to smoothen the process, and to gain control on the title of the property, it was mutually decided that the appellant Mrs. Umpa Shukla (Wife of Shri Vikas Shukla) would act as a registered GPA and an authorized legal agent who would have the authority to sign any document relating to the Land of Sh.Umed Singh.
