If it is mentioned that the holder can only take advance or enter into agreement of sale, the sale deed executed would be void.

Don't buy this property, until and unless he gives a deed of confirmation to C, thereby giving his assent to the transaction

No it's valid.  You can take a indemnity bond also for added safety.

A has authorised B to sell the property on his behalf by executing a rgistered POA deed .

B, on the basis of the registered POA deed has transferred the property to C by executing a registered sale deed during the lifetime of A.

The transaction is absolutely valid and the buyer i.e., C becomes the absolute owner  with clear and marketable title to the property by virtue of the registered sale deed on his name.

Therefore the seller i.e.,m C can very well execute a registered sale deed in favor of any prospective buyer in the capacity of the absolute owner of the property.

You may proceed with the purchase however to exercise abundant caution you may obtain a legal opinion from a local advocate before proceeding with the purchase.

See if the POA has no mention about execution of sale deed then the transaction is not valid A can claim the property there needs to be a confirmation deed from A to C.

Since you are getting such doubts, it may not be proper to render any opinion in this regard without seeing the document what you refer to hence you were advised to obtain a legal opinion from a local advocate who will notice all such defects and may suggest you proper steps on this or he may even not recommend you to buy the property due to the said defect.

You need to obtain a copy of GPA and the documents relating to property. Many transactions of properties are done through GPAs. But without going through the GPA and property purchase document its not advisable to give opinion.

C has taken the risk, as POA is restricted up to receiving advance and execute agreement to sell, actual sale deed will register by own only or he further authorises B. Well, all acts of B are binding on A, so you can directly file case agasint A for default.

But sale can be challenge as without authority or B acted above authority.

Dear Client

As mentioned in the GPA that B can enter into an agreement with any person. and if the sale deed is registered at the sub registrar office on the name of "C" then it is valid transfer.

now if A does not get the consideration of sale from B than he can claim it from B but the sale cannot be revoked as it is not registered at the office of sub registrar.
