It does not require a despatch number for a produced document. However, what is the opinion of your lawyer in this matter?
Advocate Bhartesh goyal (advocate) 26 July 2026
If the document bears signature of authority and seal then it is admissible in evidence.
Dr. J C Vashista (Advocate ) 26 July 2026
I endorse the opinion and advise learned senior expert Mr. Bhartesh Goyal.
The point in issue is the signature of author the letter / document and not the despatch number.
What is the opinion / advise of the lawyer engaged by you, if any ?

Thanks for your reply,
As per regulations of a document is not Despatched it means a formal delivery to the recipient has not materialised , and the paper officially is still with the Deaprtment. Such a non-desoatched document implies that the it is still under process and no final shape has yet been given .
All worthy advisers may please advise on the above .

It is (service of the subject document) to be proved by the party exhibiting, if doubted/ objected or questioned in cross-examination.
Otherwise, it stands proved.
