First is to see whether POA is registered and whether it is revocable or not.

You also immediately intimate the power of attorney holder through notice regarding your intention to cancel the powers. As a precautionary measure, the sub-Registrar (property's locality) to be also intimated to not to register any document based on the said GPA.

You can publish the notice of cancellation of General Power of Attorney in Newspapers ;

Quick action is required since GPA holder may create some false documents (like Sale Agreement etc.,)

In case the power of attorney is registered deed then you have to cancel it through a deed of cancellation/revocation and that too has to be registered. In case the power of attorney is not registered then it can be cancelled by a registered letter written on plan paper & sent to to the person/authority for whom this POA deed was made along with a copy to the person in whose favor this was given. A newspaper publications is required only if this POA was given for general purpose & to deal with various people or authorities on your behalf. There are two kinds of Power of Attorneys (PoA)

1) Revocable PoA

2) Irrevocable PoA

Revocable PoA can be revoked at any time by simply giving notice or by the conduct of the person who has given it.
