Dear All,
A question ponders in my mind... as to why when we send warning letters/show cause notice/chargesheet, etc., we mostly make it a point to send by Registered AD (acknowledgement due).
My question is that... is there a legal sanctity wherein documents sent by Reg. AD hold good in courts, etc.? Please state any legal act if one.
Awaiting your replies.

Hi Jagdish,
You are correct. It has some legal value as evidence, but it has to be corroborated by other evidence as well. In this case, somebody may say, "Yes, I received a registered AD, but it did not have any letter inside," so you have to have a witness who says that they put the letter inside. My point is that evidence, especially the corroborated one, cannot be refuted so easily.
Thanks for the post,
