Law is dynamic and so are its facets. Even in the time of a
pandemic, where physical appearances for lawyers have stopped, the
law is still evolving. Adaptability to the virtual world is the
need of the hour. Servicing upon the parties has been made easy
over the period of time, so that effective, speedy and timely
justice can be delivered. The e-modes of service are not only
recognised by the courts but have also played a prominent role in
rescuing the civil procedure time-totime.
The service of summons is of primary importance as it is a
fundamental rule of law of procedure that a party must have a
reasonable notice of the legal proceedings against him, in order to
defend himself. The issue of service of summons is one of the major
causes of delay in justice system.
