Example 1:
Rajesh, an Indian businessman, is involved in a civil lawsuit in a court in Dubai. The Dubai court needs to summon Rajesh's business partner, who resides in Mumbai, India, to testify in the case. According to Section 29 of The Code of Civil Procedure 1908, the Dubai court can send the summons to a court in Mumbai. The Mumbai court will then serve the summons to Rajesh's business partner as if it were issued by the Mumbai court itself.
Example 2:
An Indian citizen, Priya, owns property in a region of India where the provisions of The Code of Civil Procedure 1908 do not extend, such as certain tribal areas. A civil court in that region needs to summon Priya, who currently lives in Delhi, for a property dispute case. The court in the tribal area can send the summons to a court in Delhi. The Delhi court will serve the summons to Priya as if it were issued by the Delhi court.
