RAMATHAL AND ORS. vs K.RAJAMANI (DEAD) THROUGH LRS AND ANR. — C.A. No. 8830/2012

Summary of C.A. No. 008830/2012: Ramathal v. K. Rajamani The Supreme Court allowed the plaintiffs' appeal and held that the plea of *non est factum* (it is not my deed) was valid and proved. Illiterate plaintiffs granted a power of attorney to an attorney solely to develop their 110-cent land into plots; the attorney fraudulently added clauses enabling him to sell and transfer title, then immediately sold the land to his father and brother for grossly undervalued amounts. The Court found the power of attorney void due to fundamental misrepresentation as to its character, not merely contents, and restored the First Appellate Court's decree in favor of the plaintiffs.
