Recently I came into question of the case where a person issued a cheque for payment of IDS on dated 31.03.2017 (last date of second instalment) but the cheque was clear on 07.04.2017. Because there was banking channel to clear the cheque.
I do not see what more can be done for the purposes of this motion. It cannot be that our rules and procedure are either so ancient or so rigid (or both) that without some antiquated formal service mode through a bailiff or even by beat of drum or pattaki, a party cannot be said to have been ‘properly’ served.
