About this template

What is this template?

This is a special power of attorney limited to a single identified legal proceeding in an Indian court. It is not a general power of attorney and does not grant authority over property or assets outside the scope of the specific litigation.

When should you use it?

Use this when you cannot personally attend court and need to authorize another person to sign legal filings and give testimony. Use a General Power of Attorney instead if you need to grant broader management powers over multiple affairs.
