Law of Civil Procedure

The server shall deliver a copy of the notification and attachments thereto to the person to be served at his place of residence or work if available; otherwise, he shall deliver the same to whomever he deems to be his agent or a person working for him or to any of his family members, relatives or in-laws residing with him. If none of them are present or if the one present refuses receipt of said notification or is a minor, the copy and attachments shall be delivered, as the case may be, to the Umdah (chiefof the quarter), the police station, the administrator of the township or the chieftain of the tribe within whose jurisdiction lies the place of residence of the person to be served, in that order, and obtain their signature on the original acknowledging receipt. The server shall, within 24 hours of the delivery of a copy to any of the parties provided for in this Article, send a letter –via registered mail – to the person to be served at his place of residence or work notifying him that a copy has been delivered to said party, and shall indicate the same in detail on the original notice. The process shall be deemed effective from the time of delivery of the copy as per the above conditions.
