8. Smt. Shanta Meena Vs. Smt. Kulshree & Ors. [2011(2) DNJ (Raj.) 558]
In case of Janki Vashdeo Bhojwani (supra), the Apex Court had the
occasion to examine the legislative intent as envisaged
under Order 3 Rule 1 & 2 CPC. While
interpreting Order 3 Rule 1 & 2 CPC, the Court has made following
observations in Para 13 of the said verdict:
9. Order III, Rules 1 and 2 CPC, empowers the holder of power of attorney
to "act" on behalf of the principal. In our view the word "acts" employed
in Order III, Rules 1 and 2 CPC, confines only in respect of "acts" done by
the power of attorney holder in exercise of power granted by the instrument.
The term "acts" would not include deposing in place and instead of the
principal. In other words, if the power of attorney holder has rendered some
"acts" in pursuance to power of attorney, he may depose for the principal in
respect of such acts, but he cannot depose for the principal for the acts done
by the principal and not by him. Similarly, he cannot depose for the
principal in respect of the matter which only the principal can have a
personal knowledge and in respect of which the principal is entitled to be
cross- examined.
