Thank you gopi sir.. But my doubt it.. The accused person recieved the legal notice mean we have to give 15 days time from the date of the receipt of the legal notice for settlement or reply notice, then we have 30 days to file a complaint. But here the legal notice returned as addressee left. Then how that 15 days here... Thats my doubt.

The limitation shall start from the date of endorsement on the envelope . K. Bhaskaran (SC) can be gone through.

Cause of action shall arise after 15 days of date of endorsement on the envelope. Complaint can be filed within 30 days thereafter. That means 45 days in all. You got a correct advice.
