I cannot tell you what the judgment will be. The GPA ceases to be valid after the demise of the principal. The legal heirs of A can file he suit for cancellation of the sale deed executed after the demise of of A.
If the GPA agent had sold the property after the demise of the principal then the sale is not valid i the eyes of law.
The legal heirs of deceased A can very well file a suit to declare all the sale transactions in respect of the properties sold as null and void and can claim possession.
However if the sale was executed by B during the lifetime of A then it will be considered as valid and the legal heirs have no rights in the property which has been sold by the title holder through his agent.
Thus without knowing what case has been filed or the background of the case it will be difficult to render any opinion to this.
You may discuss with your own lawyer or revert with details especially on the lines mentioned above.

1) GPA ceases on death of A unless it is coupled with conioderation . You have not mentioned whether B Pai any money to A for execution of POA
2) B could not have sold property to C
3) further sales could not have been effected by the purchasers
4) title of E is not clear and marketable
5) it is better compromise be arrived at with legal heirs of A
From your contents it can be understood that the power agent sold the property after the death of the principal, which is not valid in law.
Whether an irrevocable power of attorney was executed by the principal in favor of the agent for valuable consideration or for securing the interest of the POA agent in the subject matter property, becomes invalid after the death of the principal.
It was your mistake that you did not obtain proper legal opinion from an experience and skilled lawyer at the time of purchase.
The legal heirs certainly can claim their father's property on the above grounds.
You may try for some amicable settlement by coordinating with your vendor.
Demolition or auction will be the decision of court as an outcome of the case when it has been fought properly by both sides.
Listen we are not astrologers that we can tell you what the judgment will be. The Power of Attorney holder is only an agent and once the Principal dies then along with the death the agent's power also ends. So the sale by B after the demise of A and subsequent sales are all illegal. The heirs of A can file a suit for declaration of the sale deed by B as illegal and also all the subsequent sale deeds.
