• Power of attorney - purchase of land in Chennai

I have few questions and i thought i could post in this forum to get a professional advice.
 Sequence of events
I decided to buy a land from the POA holder (individual) in chennai ,Registration fees paid almost a year ago , the registrar wanted the POA to be verified. The POA is registered in the state of GOA.
Registrar from chennai sends a letter to the Registrar of respective jurisdiction in Goa (checking for genuineness and if the POA is still alive).
The POA is specific purpose in nature.

After my regular calls to the GOA registrar, who is of a opinion that because the said POA was registered by the previous registrar he will not be in a position to reply to the letter from the registrar in chennai.

Now i would like to understand in this case will the chennai registrar decline the registration of the land? What are the remedies or suggested measures i can take in this case?

Dear Sir/Madam, it is the duty of the GOA sub-registrar give registration details of the said Special Power of Attorney (SPA/POA) to the Sub-Registrar, Chennai, the said Chennai Sub-Registrar taken action in this regard, in mean while you have to issued a legal notice to the both Sub-Registrar of Chennai & GOA. You have good case on merit.

This is nonsense. The successor to a public office inherits the decisions taken by his predecessor. He is bound to reply. Move the Bombay High Court at Goa to seek appropriate binding directions to the registrar.

The registrar can refuse to register the porperty since the POA is not registered.

Any deed for executing transfer of immovable property need to be a registered as per supreme court's latest circular
