Law:

Section:

(a) Qanun-e-Shahadat (10 of 1984)-------Arts. 81 & 95---Power of attorney---Authenticity---Scope---Authenticity is not merely attestation but something more---Person authenticating has to assume himself of the identity of person, who has signed instrument as well as the fact of execution---Power of attorney bearing authentication of notary public or any authority mentioned in Art.95 of Qanun-e-Shahadat, 1984, is sufficient evidence of execution of instrument by the person, who appears to be the executant on face of it---Provision of Art.95 of Qanun-e-Shahadat, 1984, is mandatory and it is open to the court to presume that all necessary requirements for proper execution of power of attorney have been duly fulfilled---Where a purported power of attorney has actually been acted upon but does not qualify for presumption under Art.95 of Qanun-e-Shahadat, 1984, those who seek to rely upon it or are allegedly affected thereby may resort to due modes of its proof, which may include examination of its attesting witnesses---If donor of power or its executant himself/herself admits execution of power of attorney, none of such modes would be necessary---In such an event, principle underlying Art.81 of Qanun-e-Shahadat, 1984, would become applicable and admission of executant would be sufficient proof of execution as against himself or herself.
