Pod of speed post

Some third party has now claimed that they have delivered a letter by speed post to my address 8 months back. He has also attached a computer generated reportshowing delivered to addressee with no name of person. They generally mention the name of the receiver in short.  Actually the senders addres and our address are of the same compound and someone has tried to play unfair and wrong by showing it delivered. Now the post office says they maintain records of 3 months only. The other side is dragging us to court now, what can i do to get the run sheet

To get the run sheet for a Speed Post delivery that was supposedly delivered 8 months ago, you'll face a challenge since post offices typically maintain records for only 3 months. However, here are some potential steps to take: *Obtaining Proof of Delivery* - *Certified Copy of Run Sheet*: You can request a certified copy of the run sheet from the post office that delivered the letter. Although they might not have records from 8 months ago, it's worth trying. You'll likely need to pay a fee of ₹10 for this service. - *Internet-Generated Report*: If the post office can't provide the run sheet, ask if they can generate an internet report under seal and signature, confirming delivery. This might not be possible after 8 months, but it's worth asking.¹ *Contacting the Post Office* - *Visit the Post Office*: Go to the post office where the letter was supposedly delivered and ask if they have any records or can provide any information about the delivery. - *Talk to the Postmaster*: If possible, speak with the postmaster or a senior official who might be able to help you obtain the records or provide guidance on how to proceed. *Legal Action* - *Subpoena or Court Order*: If the post office can't provide the records, and you're being dragged to court, your lawyer might be able to obtain the records through a subpoena or court order. - *Disputing the Delivery*: In court, you can dispute the delivery by presenting evidence that you didn't receive the letter, such as witness statements or other documentation that supports your claim.² *Additional Tips* - *RTI Route*: You could also try using the Right to Information (RTI) route to request the records, although this might not be feasible for individual cases. - *Keep Records*: Keep a record of all your interactions with the post office, including dates, times, and the officials you speak with.
