summons/notice delivery rules

AFter summons on accused, the next step is summons onthe witnesses of the parties, pleadings generally, plaint, written statement, set-off & counter-claim, Interrrogatories, settlement of issues or first hearing of the suit, affidavit, judgment, decree, Order.

Sec.64 & 65 deals with service of summons. According to Sec.64 Cr.P.C.,  if the Accused is residing in a house and if at the time of service if the accused is not found in the house, the serving officer may serve the summons on adult male member of the family.  If there is no such adult male person, the serving officer shall affix one of the duplicate of the summons at the conspicuous part of the house.   But according to you in the given situation in the house only his mother and brother resides, but not the accused.  In the above situation,  the summons/notices are to be sent to the last known address of the accused persons.  If the summons are returned unserved or that  accused is avoiding service of summons/notices intentionally, the complainant may ask the court to issue Non Bailable Warrants u/s 70 Cr.P.C.  When the N.B.Ws are not executed for a considerable period and  present where abouts of the accused are not known, the complainant is at liberty to ask the court for issuance of summons by substituted service by publication in the news papers as provided u/s 82 Cr.P.C..requiring him to be present in the court on a specified date. Inspite of the paper publication, if the court is satisfied that the accused is not present on the date given, the complainant may seek the court u/s 83 Cr.P.C. to attach the property of the accused absconding.  But, however the trial cannot be proceeded with as long as the accused is brought before the court.   Summons can be served to any adult male member who is residing in the house along with the accused.  When the accused is not residing in the house where the summons were served, it is not a proper service.  The accused after coming to know about the issuance of N.B.Ws if any, can ask the court to recall N.B.Ws  evidencing before the court that he is not residing in the house where the summons were served and on the other hand he is living elsewhere. 

sir u/s 82 cr.p.c. issued against me in 138 n.i. act. now tell me what i do....my lawyer say court must send you  jail for 2 days. And u needs to pay money to bank for cheque amount......but I not give any pdc to bank.

Hey i think you have posted your query in experts zone also isnt it?

You did not furnish full particulars.  Please give me the full particulars for giving clear advice.  Sec.82 proclamation is only a publication  directing the accused to appear before the court on the specified date in the publication.  Simply you have appear before the court on the specified date through your counsel.  You need not pay the cheque amount on that day.  It is only after full trial the court may order for payment of the cheque amount. That stage is not yet reached.  You have to consult your advocate and obtain the docket proceedings to verify what steps were taken behind your back in the above case.   If any N.B.Ws are issued against you, you have to file an application for recalling the N.B.Ws. by showing the reasons along with proof your absence on the previous occassions viz., summons/notices are not served upon you or for that matter you are not the resident of the place where the summons are served and only on seeing the publication you came to know about the case.

Hello everybody,

                                   How can i delay issuance of criminal summons, is there any way, opposition filed false cases against me under 233. Please guide me

Dear Sir,

I file a criminal revision of a false defamation case in session court but my lawyer provide wrong address for summon. He provide old address of other party for summon but new address already in the paper. I told them to provide new address for summon but he didn't do that cause my revision was not allowed. So, after order can I apply application for resummoning.
