Power of attorney is a authorization (adhikar patra) it's not a sale deed. Through POA you can take care and manage the related property and you can also do the related work through it but you can't b the owner through POA. property title only belongs to sale deed, will and gift transfer. So you are not the owner of this property.

dear client
A party to the Court Proceedings may be represented by a Power-of Attorney holder duly authorized by the Party/ Principal. Under Order 3 Rule 1 & 2 of Civil Procedure Code any appearance application or act in or to any Court except otherwise provided by any law made or done by the party in person or by his recognized agent or by a pleader on his behalf. Order 3 Rule 2 of C.P.C. specifies the Power-of-Attorney holder as recognized agents for the Party. Therefore the power-of-Attorney holder who is authorized to appear on behalf of the party can appear, file application engage advocates and act on behalf of parties.

The power of attorney is valid throughout the life of the principal and can be revoked at any time during the owners lifetime. Special Power of Attorneys (SPA) are revoked once the task that was assigned to them is complete.
