Answer 1

You have to execute the Power of Attorney in the Indian Consulate in Saudi. Please approach the Officials in the Indian Consulate/Embassy and they would guide you as to how to prepare the Power of Attorney which would bear the seal of the Indian Consulate/Embassy and the signature of the authorized official. Then forward that to your father and there just can't be any objections from the Registrar's Office.

Answer 2

Your father , who has got a validly executed power in his favour, is entitled to transact the property. If the authorities are not acting on it, you must pursue the legal remedies. You may appeal to the appellate authority over the refusal of the officer. But, you are saying that even the advocates are also of the view that only you should be personally present. I do not know the reason. Is the power is properly drafted and executed. Take a second opinion from some local legal expert. And some guys in the line of the business will be able to sort out these things.

Answer 3

POWER OF ATTORNEY - the purpose of this document is to do any legal work authorised by the maker in favour of the doer, on behalf of the doer.
Since person may not be present to do some work, he executes power of attorney so that his work may not suffer. Generally it includes all commercial transactions even sale and purchase of the immovable property.
Recently, PUNJAB AND HARYANA HIGH COURT struck down a bye-law of HUDA which was designed to nullify all such attorneys.
In your case also , your father can sell property on your behalf and these officials are harassing yoyour father so that he may do some favour to him. you can approach court to sell ur property.
