This is in clear violation of the rules and cannot in any way be presumed personal service. Hon'ble courts directions given in the Civil Misc. Contempt Application No. 3311 of 2000 Narendra Bahadur Mishra Vs. Ravindra Nath Tripathi and others are also enclosed herewith for circulating amongst the judicial officers for ensuring compliance in such matters.

I am therefore desired to request you to bring into the notice of all the judicial officers the directions given in the aforesaid case and they be asked to remain careful while sending the report about service of notice on the alleged contemner.

Yours faithfully, Enc!. As above.
