Power of Attorney Holder’s Testimony Does Not Bar Principal’s Affidavit as Competent Witness: Punjab & Haryana HC
The Punjab & Haryana High Court ruled that a party’s affidavit remains admissible as evidence even after their Power of Attorney holder has testified, as no statutory bar exists under evidence law. This ensures the principal retains the right to testify in their own cause, reinforcing the flexibility of witness competency in civil proceedings.
