Warrants Online: To make the judicial process more convenient and effective, radical changes are being made in the rules and laws across India. Preparations are also being made in states including Gujarat and UP, now efforts are being made to make the judicial process online.
A new rule has been implemented in Gujarat's neighboring state Madhya Pradesh. Under this rule, now summons and warrants will be sent through online mediums like WhatsApp, e-mail and text messages and will also be considered valid.
With this new initiative, Madhya Pradesh has become the first state in the country to recognize online summons and warrants. The Home Department has also issued a notification in this regard. Let us tell you that the Madhya Pradesh government has prepared these rules for the new law in one and a half months, according to which now summons and warrants can be issued directly from the court. If the mail is not returned, the summons and warrant sent through e-mail will be considered valid. This means that if the e-mail has been sent, the summons or warrant will be considered issued.
You will also get an exception:
However, this new rule will not apply to those who do not use e-mail, phone numbers or messaging applications. In such cases, the traditional method will be followed and the summons or warrant will be sent by the staff of the concerned police station.
The Home Department has issued a gazette notification to implement this new rule. This move is expected to speed up the judicial process and is being considered an important step towards strengthening the justice system in the digital age. The implementation of this new rule will save time and resources in judicial processes, as well as deliver court orders more efficiently.
