جنرل اٹارنی یعنی مختار عام اپنے نام یا اپنے مفاد کیلئے خود سے کوئی دعویٰ نہی کر سکتا ۔۔

In "2015 YLR 435"

the court held that the execution of a power of attorney does not divest the principal of authority over the subject matter nor does it grant the attorney absolute rights over the property as its owner. The attorney must act as an agent of the principal and account for all transactions. If the attorney uses the power of attorney for personal benefit or the benefit of close relatives without special permission, the transaction may be contrary to law and the authority of the attorney.

"2017 CLC 305"

emphasizes that a general power of attorney does not automatically include the power to alienate or dispose of the principal's property. It must contain a clear, separate clause for this purpose. The attorney has essential obligations to communicate with the principal in cases of difficulty and to obtain the principal's consent after disclosing all material circumstances when dealing with the property for his own benefit.

"1996 PLD 483" and "2000 YLR 2256"

reiterate that an attorney, even with the authority to alienate the principal's property, must exercise due diligence in communicating with the principal and obtaining instructions. The attorney must also obtain the principal's consent after full disclosure of material circumstances if dealing with the property for personal gain.
