Arvind's employee Sunil, who holds a properly executed and authenticated power-of-attorney from Arvind, takes the deed to the registration office.

Sunil may present it. Section 32 permits presentation by a person executing or claiming under the document, their representative or assign, or their agent duly authorised by an executed and authenticated power-of-attorney. Sunil is Arvind's authorised agent, so the presentation is valid.
