1)power of attorney has to be duly stamped and registered for sale of immoveable property .

2)in the present case the POA would not be valid as it is not stamped and registered . it would be in admissible in evidence .

3)if on basis of said POA has been registered you can certainly take legal proceedings challenging the sale of immoveable property .

Did you get your land mutated in your name or not? Coz if the land is mutated in your name then you can easily sell that. But if not then there are others methods to get so. In which district your land is situated?

Just do one thing as you dont have registered POA, you can lodge a missing case of the real owner immediately if police does not lodges FIR go through section 156(3) and get the case registered. when it will be done just make sure Investigation officer finds where that real owner is.
By this you will find him and then get the property registered in his name and then subsequently get it transferred ion your name.

There is NO other way believe me I have dealt with exactly same case.
if you want we can File Writ in High Court.
