P.Krishna Kumar, J.

The appellant, Sidharthan, is the husband of the

first respondent, Sindhu Sidharthan. He was engaged in own

business abroad. He had executed a general Power of

Attorney in her favour, authorising her to manage all his

assets in Kerala, including various immovable properties.

The Power of Attorney enabled sale of the properties.

Subsequently, suspecting that the first respondent might

misuse the authority so conferred, the appellant revoked

the Power of Attorney. Upon realising that the Power of

Attorney was about to be revoked, Sindhu Sidharthan,
Mat.Appeal Nos.1280/2015, 1281/2015, 1282/2015,
1295/2015 & O.P.(FC)No. 318/2022

acting on the strength of the said Power of Attorney,

executed several sale deeds transferring various items of

immovable properties to the second respondent, Mevis

Davies, and to other persons. She also transferred some

properties in her own name. Alleging that the first and

second respondents had fraudulently created these sale

deeds to defeat the appellant’s interests, the appellant

approached the Family Court, Thrissur, by filing various

petitions challenging the validity of the said

conveyances. The Family Court partly upheld his claims.

With regard to the sale deeds in favour of Mevis Davis it

was found that Sindhu Sidharthan was liable to pay the

corresponding sale consideration to the appellant, the

transfers she had effected in her own name were set aside.

It held that the second respondent, Mevis Davies, was a

bona fide purchaser without notice of the revocation of

the Power of Attorney. In the present appeals, the

appellant challenges the finding in favour of the second

respondent, Mevis Davies. The first respondent remained ex
Mat.Appeal Nos.1280/2015, 1281/2015, 1282/2015,
1295/2015 & O.P.(FC)No. 318/2022

parte before the trial court and has not preferred any

challenge to the judgment.
