Summons outside india

In response to your query,

Order V, Rule 25, of the Code of Civil Procedure provides, generally, that if the defendant resides out of India, and has no agent in India empowered to accept the service, the summons shall be addressed to the defendant at the place where he is residing, and forwarded to him by post, if there be postal communication. Foreign residents can be served at an official address, Exceptions may apply for foreign defendants who have appointed a local agent for service or entered into some other agreement permitting service by other means.
