Proof of service via email in a writ petition

The proof of service should be attached to the writ petition as an annexure.

It is a supporting document that provides evidence that the respondent was properly notified of the legal action.

Many courts require the proof of service to be submitted along with an affidavit of service. This affidavit, sworn by the filing party or their counsel, certifies that the email was sent successfully and that the provided email address belongs to the concerned party. 

A simple screenshot of the sent email is generally considered insufficient and unreliable proof of service on its own.

While courts have accepted electronic evidence, it must be properly authenticated to prevent concerns about manipulation or tampering. 

The proof of email service be attached as annexure with writ petition along with affidavit of service. 

Which High Court? Each High Court has its own procedure.

Proof of service is to be attached at the fag end of the petition (after Vakalatnama) and same has to be mentioned / pagianted in  the index of the petition.

IN Delhi High Court, sir.
