Explanation using Example

Example 1:

Rajesh lives in Mumbai, but he is involved in a legal case in a court in Delhi. The Delhi court needs Rajesh to appear for a hearing. Since Rajesh resides outside the local jurisdiction of the Delhi court, the court in Delhi sends a summons in duplicate to a Magistrate in Mumbai. The Mumbai Magistrate then ensures that the summons is served to Rajesh at his residence in Mumbai.

Example 2:

Priya, a businesswoman based in Chennai, is required to testify in a fraud case being heard in a court in Kolkata. The Kolkata court issues a summons for Priya to appear. Because Priya is outside the local jurisdiction of the Kolkata court, the court sends the summons in duplicate to a Magistrate in Chennai. The Chennai Magistrate then serves the summons to Priya at her office in Chennai, ensuring she is informed about the requirement to appear in the Kolkata court.
