Service of summons outside local limits
AI Assist
Summary
When a court wants its summons served outside its local limits, it ordinarily sends two copies to the Magistrate whose local jurisdiction covers where the person lives. That Magistrate is then expected to have the summons served at that place. The rule applies where service must be made in another area.
Example
Priya lives in a town outside the court's area and is required to appear. The court sends two copies of the summons to the Magistrate in Priya's town, and that Magistrate arranges service there so Priya gets proper notice.
