Right. There is nothing in law which mandates the answer to every notice sent to a party.

Notice is given to the defendant to give him an opportunity to settle the matter without going to court. If no reply is given by the defendant adverse inference can be taken against the said defendant.

I mentioend by Mr Renganathan, there will adverse inferences.

When allegations are made in the Suit Notice , they have to be replied , otherwise there will be a situation that there is no reply to Suit Notice. The allegations if not denied the same may be treated as admission/ or /treated as keeping silent .

If defendant fails to reply the notice to the suit or claim, the court will allow the plaintiff and the defendant will be as held exparte.

I agree to the aforesaid experts opinions. It is always advisable to always give a reply to the notice. If in case you are not able to reply immediately, make it a point to reply at some point.
