“…the contention that
the general power of attorney was given by the
respondent/plaintiff not to a stranger but to her
own son-in-law and that she was not a paradanashin lady” for which the courts of law
have provided protection is not tenable in the facts
and circumstances of the instant case first,
because it is in evidence that the relations between
the two were too strained on account of the discord
between him and her daughter and in the normal
course of events she could not have reposed that
kind of trust; second, the protection provided to
them in law is on account of the fact that they
invariably are helpless, weak and vulnerable. The
said consideration would equally be attracted to an
illiterate lady particularly when she was placed in
circumstances which made her vulnerable to deceit
misrepresentation…”
