Is delevery of notice is mendatory in 14(1) a drc act.

Respected sir/madam,

We filed a case against our tenant under 14(1)A of delhi rent control act in sep,2007. As I am a petitioner of this suit we send a legal notice to the respondent under this act but the registered AD had come back with a written remark of postman that “INTIMATION IS GRANTED” none of another AD was send by our legal advisor after this and the respondent is always present after intimation of this suit.

Now all the procedure is finished and our case is in final stage of judgement now, the opposition party told that they does not received any kind of legal notice of this case as acceptation of legal notice is mendatory for this act.

We lost our 6 years in this case so please guide us that what is the technical fault in this case and how can we defend us legally as the intimation is granted and respondent present till.

Whether the summons has been received by the respondent in the rental case. Whether the respondent filed counter. Whether the respondent set exparte. Pl clarify. As the case is in judgement stage, it should be exparte only. Now in this stage the respondent cannot raise the plea of non giving of legal notice.
