A power of attorney and deed of retirement allegedly registered two decades ago with the sub-registrar office in Vasai are being contested in the sessions court of Mumbai, where a builder has moved an anticipatory bail plea.

Manek Mehta, a resident of South Mumbai, has been accused of cheating by his erstwhile partner Bhadresh Shah, a resident of Gamdevi, who has lodged a complaint with the General Cheating Wing of EOW, accusing Mehta of forging his power of attorney and selling his right over multiple acres of plot in Vasai to the tune of over Rs 34 crore.
