The Bombay High Court has accepted service of notice in an execution application through WhatsApp after observing that the notice, served as a PDF file, was not only delivered but opened as well by the receiver. Justice Gautam Patel, earlier this week, was hearing an execution application filed by the SBI Cards and Payments Services Pvt Ltd (the claimant), saying that the respondent -- city resident Rohit Jadhav -- was evading service of notice. According to the claimant company, on June 8, the respondent was served notice by an authorised officer of the company, who had sent it in the portable document format (PDF) and a message informing him about the next date of hearing, on WhatsApp. The company approached the high court with the execution application after Jadhav refused to take their calls or meet their officers.
