Abstract

A significant factor contributing to the backlog of courts is the delay and difficulty in serving of summons. Addressing issues arising from many important issues of justice requires good cooperation between experts and judges. In courts dealing with lawsuits, petitions, complaints and various applications, it is important for the court to summon the parties to court, usually by way of notice, summons and search. This process is called "service of process" and is expected to send legal information to the relevant persons.

However, processing this information can be difficult, especially when one party fails to provide service. Fortunately, recent system updates and operational support have made this process more efficient and effective. The fundamental laws have been amended to include the legal system. Furthermore, the Supreme Court has taken steps to reduce the burden on the service of process by revising its rules and regulations. Against this background, this study aims to examine the changes in the Legal Procedure, the impact in Judiciary due to the delay in service of summons and the recent changes in service of summons by the Supreme Court and other High Court decisions in India
