Along with a summons to Shalini, a witness, a Court in Mysuru directs a copy to be sent to her by registered post. A postal employee's endorsement comes back saying that she refused to take delivery. Under section 71(2) of the BNSS, what may the Court do?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

BNSS section 71(2) allows a postal employee's refusal endorsement to support a declaration that the witness summons was "duly served". Refusing delivery does not automatically invalidate service, and this provision does not itself authorise immediate punishment for contempt.
