What is this about?

The petitioner sought a direction to the Varanasi Development Authority to execute a sale deed in her favour or in favour of Sardar Manohar Singh after she had paid money on his behalf. The court found that the power of attorney executed by Sardar Manohar Singh did not authorise the petitioner to file the writ petition on his behalf. The petition was consequently dismissed as withdrawn, with liberty to file a fresh petition in accordance with law.
