Evading Court Summons seems like a common tactics used by some people in India. I am facing such a situation in probate case of my father's Will. I know that registered AD was returned as "unclaimed" because the person either bribed the postman or did something else to delay the court process for months. And he did succeed as the next court date was fixed after 6 months. If India can send rockets to Moon and Mars,,,why Indian Courts can not even deliver summons in timely fashion ?
Successful evasion of summons encourages crooks and disappoints law abiding people and it also makes a mockery of India's justice system. This person very well knows the loopholes and weakness of Indian Courts and therefore he once told me "this is India..Laws dont matter here...we can drag the case for many years even if you have the genuine Will.
Courts need to design a better system of summon delivery to discourage people who take advantage of weakness in Summon delivery proceess by delaying the case and blackmailing the petitioners. Lets have Digital India in summon delivery !
