The Supreme Court has also held that the issuance and proper service of notice are essential for the initiation and continuation of proceedings under the NI Act. The Court recognizes that service through advocate commissioners or authorized agents is valid, provided it is done in accordance with legal procedures ["PRAKASH INDUSTRIES LIMITED VS STATE OF DELHI - Dishonour Of Cheque"].
Landmark Judgment of the Supreme Court:
Analysis and Conclusion:The Supreme Court has established that courts have the authority to appoint advocates or authorized agents as commissioners to serve summons to accused persons in cases under the Negotiable Instruments Act, particularly when direct service is challenging. Proper service of notice, whether through the court or its authorized agents, is fundamental for valid proceedings. The landmark judgment in Dashrath Rupsingh Rathod underscores the importance of effective service and clarifies the court's powers to facilitate this, including appointing advocates or police for service when required.
