law: Powers of Attorney Act, 1882
  2. Execution under power-of-attorney
  The donee of a power-of-attorney may, if he thinks fit, execute
  
  or do any 3[* * *] instrument or thing in and with his own name and signature,
  
  and his own seal, where sealing is required, by the authority of the donor of
  
  the power; and every 3[ * * * ] instrument and thing so executed and done,
  
  shall be as effectual in law as if it had been executed or done by the donee of
  
  the power in the name, and with the signature and seal, of the donor thereof.
  
  This section applies to powers-of-attorney created by instruments executed
  
  either before or after this Act comes into force.
  Comment: Section 2 of the Powers of Attorney Act cannot
  
  override the specific provision of a statute which requires that a particular
  
  act should be done by a party in person. When the Code requires the appearance
  
  of an accused in a Court it is no compliance with it if a power of attorney
  
  holder appears for him. T. C. Mathai v. District and Sessions Judge,
