Ramu obtained registered power of attorney (GPA) for revenue land from eight farmers on June 14, 1995. He later sold this land to Shyam with a registered sale deed. Shyam then appointed Ramu as his GPA holder through a notary-executed GPA on September 4, 2008. Can Ramu divide this land into plots and sell them individually? Is it legal to buy individual plots from Ramu who holds the GPA? Can Ramu pay stamp duty for an individual plot (not the entire land) as the latest GPA holder (notary) or the previous registered GPA holder before selling it? If so, is it legal to purchase this plot from Ramu?
Ramu cannot divide and sell individual plots as he is only a GPA holder, not the owner. Buying individual plots from Ramu is not legal as he lacks the necessary ownership rights. Stamp duty must be paid for the entire land by the registered owner (Shyam), not by the GPA holder.
