Even otherwise, the High Court concluded that there was no material to indicate that Jinendra Jain was authorized to enter into an
agreement for sale the suit property on behalf of Pushparani.-S.L.P.(C) Nos.524-525 of 2003 which came to be dismissed by this Court on 25th July, 2003. The review petitions filed

The High Court took the view that the alleged Power of Attorney dated 30th April, 1983 could not be accepted as a valid piece of documentary evidence being a certified copy of a photocopied document.- Second Appeal alleging fraud played on court by concealing the power of attoreny - obtained decree in her favour - Apex court held that A mere concealment or non-disclosure without intent to deceive or a bald allegation of fraud without proof and intent to deceive would not render a decree obtained by a
party as fraudulent. To conclude in a blanket manner that in every case where relevant facts are not disclosed, the decree obtained would be fraudulent, is stretching the principle to a vanishing point.- Fraud not having been proved but merely alleged, we do not find any reason to differ with the judgment and order passed by the High Court and the Trial Court. - Appeal dismissed.
