1) since  irrevocable POA is coupled with consideration it does not cease on demise of one of the brothers 

 

2) deed of conveyance executed in basis of POA  would not be set aside

1. If there is exchange of consideration in any form for registering the irrevocable POA, then it can not be revoked even after the demise of one of its executants.

 

2. The case filed by the sons of the deceased executant of the POA is expected to  fall flat.

Query is not cleaR to me 

The POA if coupled with interest like this case can not be revoked even on death of one of the principals though o his death his legal heir need to make fresh POA to complete sale of remaining flats or to do the registration.

Unless the nature of the suit and its present is made clear no further advice  can be given.

- Generally speaking, A POA is terminated after the death of either the Donor of POA , OR of the Donee of the POA. 

- Further, the Supreme Court of India, in Seth Loon Karan Sethiya v. Ivan E. John,  held that the agency cannot be revoked where such agency is created in exchange for some valuable consideration and the authority granted by the agency is to secure the interests of the agent or to effectuate the security against such consideration. 

- As , the said irrevocable POA was created in exchange for consideration , hence after the death of one of the Donor /brother , the POA cannot be cancelled, and further the Deed of conveyance also cannot be cancelled on any ground. 

- Hence,the case filed by the sons of deceased is not maintainable.

Since the POA is clubbed with the consideration the deed is irrevocable even the fact is that one of the executant is died.

The suit filed by him may not be maintainable.

The conditions will remain effective.

There's no question of the existing executant not cooperating with the builder at this stage.

The builder can drag him to court of law seeking relief and remedy.
