1. check in the power of attorney whether there is power for signing the sale agreement on behalf of seller and to do the registration formalities

2. if yes then the seller is not personally required to attend for registration

Visit the office of concerned Sub Registrar and contact local lawyer if he can get the sale deed executed in your favour on the basis of power of attorney.

Dear querist, please explain in details, about the seller and his unavailability. e.g.he is out of India, not ready to come for execution or due to some other reason.

The procedure is by paying requisite stamp duty and registration fees, you can register the document.

Dear Sir/Madam, from the date of sale deed execution you have present the said sale deed before jurisdictional sub-registrar office with in four months. I do not understand what you have irrevocable power of attorney. Notarized documents are not satisfy u/s 54 of T.P. Act. Seller should be present before the sub-registrar, if difficult his (seller) SPA holder present for presenting documents for registration on behalf of the said seller.

Section 54 in The Transfer of Property Act, 1882

54. “Sale” defined.—‘‘Sale” is a transfer of ownership in exchange for a price paid or promised or part-paid and part-promised. Sale how made.—3Such transfer, in the case of tangible immoveable property of the value of one hundred rupees and upwards, or in the case of a reversion or other intangible thing, can be made only by a registered instrument. 1In the case of tangible immoveable property of a value less than one hundred rupees, such transfer may be made either by a registered instrument or by delivery of the property. Delivery of tangible immoveable property takes place when the seller places the buyer, or such person as he directs, in possession of the property. Contract for sale.—A contract for the sale of immoveable property is a contract that a sale of such property shall take place on terms settled between the parties. It does not, of itself, create any interest in or charge on such property.

please go through this.

1) you have to registered the property or get his legal heirs if he is not alive and show them your previous sale deed which is not registered.

2) Try to convince registrar of your area and tou seller details. If property is in your possession than don't worry you can stay as of now.

3) provide in detais seller's conditions as is now.

Dear Sir,

Nothing to worry just file a suit for declaration or suit for specific performance. Get it decreed ex-parte by issuing a paper publication There after during the course of execution it can be executed by the Court Commissioner. The relevant rule is as follows.

=======================================================================================

ORDER 26 RULE 10B OF CIVIL PROCEDURE CODE

Commission for performance of a ministerial act.- (1) Where any question arising in a suit involves the performance of any ministerial act which cannot, in the opinion of the court, be conveniently performed before the court, the court may, if, for reasons to be recorded, it is of opinion that it is necessary or expedient in the interests of justice so to do, issue a commission to such person as it thinks fit, directing him to perform that ministerial act and report thereon to the court.

(2) The provisions of rule 10 of this Order shall apply in relation to a Commissioner appointed under this rule as they apply in relation to a Commissioner appointed under rule 9.

You have power of attroney of seller so you can present yourself only for signing sell deed and registration as there is valid power of attorney available with you. See Present the sale deed along with power of attorney with revenue sub-registrar for registration by paying requisite stamp duty and registration fees. SInce you have POA of the seller you can also sign and present yourself only on behalf of the seller

This is my response to you:

1. Go and approach the Registrar's office and register the property;

2. If the other party is required to appear the Registrar can issue notice to appear before the officer;

3. According to section 36 of the Registration Act, it states that if a person presenting the document desires the appearance of any person, then registering officer may in his discretion take steps.

4. However, proviso 2 simply says that if the agreement is presented and other party is not present, then the registering officer can also issue notice.

Firslty, now a law with regard to the same have changed as per the latest Supreme Court judgment which says that even POA or GPA or SPA would also not be entertained at the time of registration on behalf of either of the parties.

Secondly, so, just to save yourself for my eh future problem, I advice you to go for the registration together.

The property title will not vest through a power of attorney deed on you.

You said that you purchased the property through a sale deed, then what is the necessity to get another sale deed of the property which was already sold to you.

If it was not a registered sale deed, then you may have to get a proper registered sale deed in your favor.

Why the seller is not available, where has he gone?

You locate him and get the sale deed executed at the earliest or else you may not be able to have a clear and marketable title to the property and may not be able to resale the property to a third person.
