Basant Singh & Anr vs Roman Catholic Mission

The Supreme Court examined whether service of notice sent via registered post with an acknowledgement card, under Order 5 Rule 19A of the Code of Civil Procedure and Section 27 of the General Clauses Act, 1897, constitutes sufficient service. The court analyzed the legal presumption of service when a notice is sent to the correct address. It ruled that such service is deemed sufficient unless the contrary is proved.
