The applicant states in his complaint that the notice was sent by registered Post acknowledgment due as also Under Postal Certificate. The copy sent by registered Post acknowledgment had returned with remark with a 2 handwritten remark which has been read by everybody including the complainant as “Returned”. The learned counsel for the applicant points out from the acknowledgment produced before the court that the remark actually is “Refused”. In that case, the service of the notice would be good service. Hence, the applications for leave to appeal are granted. The appeals are admitted. (Smt. R.P.SondurBaldota, J)
