Under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, A Court in Bengaluru issues a summons bearing the image of its seal to Manoj and has it served on him by electronic communication in the manner laid down by the State's rules. Manoj does not respond. Has the summons been duly served?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

The proviso to section 64(2) allows a summons bearing the image of the Court's seal to be served by electronic communication in the manner the State Government prescribes, and section 70(3) provides that summons so served "shall be considered as duly served", an attested copy being kept as proof. Personal delivery is not the only mode, and service does not depend on Manoj reading the message or on affixing a paper copy.
