Service of summons through e-mail is yet to be put in place in India.

I disagree. It has been recognised and approved by the amendment made to CPC in 2002. See Order V of CPC for further clarification which provides for service of notice and summons through e mail.

I am not sure what is the position of other states but at least in West Bengal it is still not the recognised and valid means of service of summons.

Apart from C.P.C, I would like to share my views with my learned brothers that after enactment and enforcement of Information Technology Act, 2002, Evidence Act has also been amended and provisions have been made therein relation to Information Technology Act. so Adv. Subramanium is correct.

I also had the same thought, unconfirmed.
Now, it is confirmed by the experts.
