Regarding serving notice

(Querist) 06 February 2021 This query is : Resolved 
Sir,
Please help on below3 points. Please . Some people intentionally avoiding, escaping from taking lawyer notice sent through postal service. Thats why asking this doubt.

1) can lawyer notice be served online either through whatsapp/email address/facebook messenger id ? any of them or all of them ?

2) Can I take pic of the notice prepared by my lawyer and send to other party in whatsapp or email from my whatsapp/email ? So that the other party cannot say that notice is not served. I as a client can send to other party from my whatsapp to his whatsapp ? This is in addition to sending through postal service.

3) or only lawyer can send from his whatsapp or email ?
Quick Summary
This discussion explores alternative methods for serving lawyer notices beyond traditional postal services, particularly when individuals try to evade receipt. It questions the validity of serving notices via WhatsApp, email, or Facebook Messenger, and whether a client can send the notice themselves or if it must come directly from the lawyer. While electronic service is suggested as a possibility, the consensus leans towards registered post with acknowledgment due as the most reliable method, as courts may be slow to accept electronic service as legally proven.

1. Yes, it can be sent by either of the mode of service. However, proof of service has to be taken and submitted when required.
2 & 3. Either of you may send, no such bar.

I am afraid courts are slow to accept service through electronic mode since it is yet to be an accepted mode of service under law. Registered post is better option. If they refuse and avoid service, the court will hold it valid service.
