My family bought a property in central Delhi years ago using a general power of attorney. We want to make it freehold now. Could you explain the exact process for getting it registered with the court? I’ve heard different things from various property consultants, and it’s getting confusing.

You’ll need to file a suit for specific performance in the Delhi High Court, seeking a decree for the property’s transfer in your name based on the general power of attorney. The court will then examine the document and its validity, and if satisfied, issue a decree allowing you to register the property as freehold in your name. You will need to engage a lawyer experienced in property law for this process.
