Service of summons by plaintiff to opposite party

(Querist) 29 March 2022 This query is : Resolved 
Hello Experts,

I am Decree Holder in a ongoing Summary Execution Case. Judge allowed my application to serve J.D. (opposite parties) copies of applications moved by me. My next hearing is on 21st April, 2022. My queries are as follows:-

1. If D.H. serves summons with copies of applications via registered post (A.D.) under Order V Rule 9A of CPC then is it necessary to file affidavit of service by D.H. ?

2. Is there any format in Code of Civil Procedure for affidavit of service of summons by Plaintiff or Decree Holder ? If yes which provision in First Schedule shall be referred to ?

3. Is it necessary to attached R.P.A.D. card or online postal report of delivery along with affidavit or only sworn affidavit is sufficient in order to qualify as good service of summons?

Awaiting expert advice.

Best Regards
VISHAL SAHA.

Your advocate cannot even file an affidavit of notice. Change your advocate.
