Any unsigned document including demand notice is "invalid" document, no need for any citation, However, citations are not provided on this platform, research yourself if you are so keen and enlighten others also.

Mr. Nagaraj,
It is not clear as to what you say.
Are you saying that no one signed the Notice?

Yes sir advocate and complainant both are not signed on demand notice...i got certified copy also...

It is not compulsory/ mandatory that the complaint should also sign the demand notice which is issued under his/her instruction on his/her behalf (authority) by his/her counsel, however, signature of the Counsel is compulsory otherwise the notice is non-est.
