Gopal Singh And Others vs Ujagar Singh And Others on 2 April, 1954
11. This document was jointly executed by Ram Singh and
Girwar Singh in favour of Roshan Lal Vohra on 12.3.1975. Girwar
Singh had expired on 23.8.1979. The present suit had been filed in
the year 1980 on which date admittedly Girwar Singh was not
alive. The impugned judgment had returned a finding that the
death of Girwar Singh had not taken away the life of this
document. The co-executant Ram Singh was still alive and the suit
filed by him was maintainable. This issue has been discussed in
detail while disposing of issue no.2. The appellate court had relied
upon a judgment of the Nagpur Bench reported as Agarwal
Jorawarmal & Anr. vs. Kasan & Anr. AIR 1937 Nagpur 314; a
judgment of the Calcutta Bench reported as Mohindra Lal
R.S.A.No.99/1986 Page 8 of 13
Chatterjee vs. Hari Pada Oase & Ors. AIR 1936 Calcutta 650; the
judgment of the Punjab Bench reported as Gopal Singh vs. Mehnge
Singh 1968 Vol.70 PLR 515 as also another judgment of the Full
Bench of Punjab and Haryana reported as Ajmer Singh (deceased
by LRs) vs. Shamsher Singh & Ors. reported in AIR 1984 Punjab &
Haryana 58 to draw a finding that a power of attorney executed by
the surviving executant did not terminate on the death of the other;
Ex.PW-1/1 dated 12.3.1975 was thus a valid and alive document.
Relevant extract of this finding by the first appellate court is
contained in para 11 and reads as under:

Patel Natwarlal Rupji vs Shri Kondm Group Kheti Vishayak And Anr on 6 December, 1995
In (1996) 7 SCC 690 Patel Natwarlal Rupji vs. Kondh Group
Kheti Vishayak and Anr. it has been held as follows:
Section 20 in The Transfer Of Property Act, 1882 [Entire Act]

Janki Vashdeo Bhojwani & Anr vs Indusind Bank Ltd. & Ors on 6 December, 2004
However,
where the authority is given by one or more principals; it is a
matter of a construction of the document itself whether on the
death of one such principal, the power comes to an end or whether
it is continued even thereafter. The intention of the parties to the
contract, terms as contained therein and the surrounding
R.S.A.No.99/1986 Page 9 of 13
circumstances are the deciding factors. Ex.PW-1/1 had been
construed in the light of these observations and the Court below
had rightly held that death of Girwar Singh did not affect the
validity of Ex.PW-1/1; admittedly both Ram Singh and Girwar Singh
had a common and joint interest in the property in respect of which
this power of attorney had been executed. The judgment reported
in Janki Vashdeo Bojwani (supra) is inapplicable; contents of
Ex.PW-1/1 are not under challenge; only contention is that on the
death of one executant, the document dies.
