I am here to tell you only that Mr. Dhingra has the appropriate answer for you so be careful in discarding others against him.

Mr. Prabhakar Singh! This is not the way to reply query.

You may appreciate any expert of your choice but you have no right to discard others compared to a particular expert.

Why querist should not discard you and should ignore your 'advice' as you also come within definition of 'others' then Mr. Dhingra?

I would be happy lot.

Prabhakar Singh ji! Dhingra ji has still not come whereas I have posted 4 relevant citations for querist and let you still advise querist to discard me.

If the notice was sent... Then proceed ahead... Don't loose out on your time limit....

"Notice returned unclaimed deemed as served. Payee’s duty is over by dispatching notice. A payee can send the notice for doing his part for giving the notice. Once it is dispatched his part is over and the next depends on what the sendee does. Evading service of notice is deemed served. 1999 (3) CTC 358 SC. "

Plus Mr.Makkad provided you with a lots... I hope that should be enough :]

Dear Makkad ji and Prabhakar ji...

Would it be possible to continue this on private conversations... Doesnot give out an exceptable impression....

And can you please edit your posts here [if possible].
And I say this with a lot of respect and humility for both of you...

And Mr.Aditya,

You should proceed to court as you have the law on your own side:

Please do read
General Clauses Act, 1897, Section 27

You need citations if law is not express where law is express you rarely need citations in 138 NI

Rajeev Kumar (Expert) 21 November 2011
Agreed with the view expressed by experts

Advocate. Arunagiri (Expert) 21 November 2011
I am also having the same impression and thought as Mr.Arvind expressed.

Experts should avoid personal / emotional conversations in public.
