The Supreme Court ruled that a principal can revoke a Power of Attorney (PoA) if both the agent and third parties are aware of the principal's actions implying revocation.

The Court upheld the trial court's decision, rejecting the Kerala High Court's stance that mere participation in the sale did not constitute revocation.
