Gujarat High Court Civil Manual (subordinate court practice), 1960
Permission is given to District Judges and to Civil Judges (subject to any general instructions from the District Judge) to allow their bailiffs to return processes by post in cases in which it may be convenient to do so. Processes, however, should not be posted in village boxes which are cleared at irregular intervals. When sent by post, they may be sent "Service bearing" and the postage should be paid out of the Court's contingent allowance. The presiding officer of each Court, in which the system may be introduced, should carefully watch its working, and should discontinue it, if found objectionable.
