A legal document authorizing an individual to act on another person’s behalf in legal proceedings related to marital dissolution within the Indian jurisdiction allows for representation when physical presence is challenging. For instance, an individual residing abroad can appoint someone in India to manage their divorce case, including filing petitions, attending court hearings, and negotiating settlements.
This authorization streamlines the legal process, especially beneficial for non-resident Indians or those with mobility limitations. It ensures that their interests are represented effectively without requiring constant travel or physical appearance in court. Historically, this mechanism has provided access to justice for those geographically or otherwise disadvantaged in pursuing their legal rights in family law matters.
