Unregistered Lease by Unauthorized POA Holder Invalidates Possession Claim | No Lawful Title Without Registration: Bombay HC

The Bombay High Court nullified an injunction granted to a respondent based on an unregistered lease executed by a power of attorney holder with no authority to lease the entire property. This ruling reinforces that mere physical possession under an ultra vires lease cannot confer lawful possession without valid title or registered authority, impacting landlords, tenants, and property litigants relying on informal agreements.
