Thamarasseri Roman Catholic Diocese vs Mrs.Umadevi Nambiar on 31 October, 1996
7. The learned Senior Counsel for the seventh
defendant at the outset submitted that in the absence of any
document executed by the fourth defendant firm in favour of
the plaintiffs in respect of the plaint schedule property, the
claim of title of the plaintiffs over the plaint schedule property
is without any basis. The learned counsel has reinforced the
said submission pointing out that the power of attorneys, on
the strength of which Exts.A6 to A13 assignment deeds were
executed, would show that the partners of the fourth
defendant firm have only authorised their power of attorney
holder to sell their undivided right in the plaint schedule
property and Exts.A6 to A13 assignment deeds were however
executed without authority of law in as much as the same
recite that they are executed on behalf of the fourth defendant
firm. Placing reliance on the decision of this Court in
Thamarasseri Roman Catholic Diocese v. Umadevi
Nambiar, 2017 (1) KLT 71, the learned counsel submitted that

excess of the power and the documents executed without
power, and documents like Exts.A6 to A13 assignment deeds
executed without power are only to be ignored as void. It was
also argued by the learned counsel that partners of a firm
cannot claim undivided rights in the properties of the firm and
the assignment deeds executed by the partners of the fourth
defendant firm in favour of the plaintiffs are void, even if they
are construed as documents executed within the power
conferred in terms of the power of attorneys. He relied on
various provisions in the Indian Partnership Act, 1932 (the Act)
as also on the decision of the Apex Court in Addanki
Narayanappa v. Bhaskara Krishtappa, AIR 1966 SC 1300,
in support of the said proposition. It was also contended by
the learned counsel that Exts.A6 to A13 assignment deeds
executed by five among the seven partners of the fourth
defendant firm do not, at any rate, confer any title on the
plaintiffs over the plaint schedule property in as much as the
said conduct of the partners does not fall within the scope of
the implied authority of the partners to bind the firm. Section
19(2)(g) of the Act was relied on by the learned counsel in
support of the said contention. It was argued by the learned
