Frequently Asked Questions
Can an NRI file a property suit in Odisha without being physically present?
Yes. An NRI can authorise an advocate or a trusted representative through a registered Power of Attorney to file and pursue the suit on their behalf, appearing personally only if the court specifically requires it. Instructions and documents can be exchanged through video consultation, courier, or the Indian Embassy.
What can be done if a relative takes illegal possession of an NRI's property?
The NRI owner can file a suit for recovery of possession and a permanent injunction restraining further interference, along with a police complaint if the possession involves criminal trespass. Prompt action is generally advisable, as prolonged inaction can complicate recovery depending on the facts and any adverse possession claims.
How can an NRI verify if their Power of Attorney is being misused?
The NRI owner can obtain certified copies of recent registered documents from the Sub-Registrar's office to check if any sale, mortgage, or gift has been executed under the Power of Attorney, and can revoke the Power of Attorney immediately by a registered deed of revocation if misuse is suspected.
Is a foreign Power of Attorney valid for property transactions in Odisha?
A Power of Attorney executed abroad by an NRI must generally be notarised or apostilled/attested by the Indian Embassy or Consulate in that country and then adjudicated with stamp duty and registered in India before it can be used for property transactions in Odisha, subject to the specific requirements applicable at the time.
How do NRI legal heirs claim their share in ancestral property in Odisha?
NRI legal heirs have the same succession rights as resident heirs under the Hindu Succession Act 1956 or the applicable personal law, and can claim their share through a partition suit or an application for mutation, represented by an advocate under a registered Power of Attorney.
