The Madhya Pradesh High Court has ordered an investigation after a woman denied ever filing a vakalatnama, the power‑of‑attorney used to appoint a lawyer.
The Madhya Pradesh High Court has directed a probe after a woman asserted that she never executed a vakalatnama, the legal document that authorises an advocate to represent a client. The claim surfaced during court proceedings where the validity of her representation was challenged. The bench instructed the appropriate authorities to examine the authenticity of the vakalatnama and the circumstances of its alleged filing. The order reflects the court's concern over possible misuse of legal authorisations and aims to ensure any irregularities are swiftly investigated. No further details have been released as the inquiry proceeds.
