A.Law is very clear on this point.If you have original speed post receipt , it is admissible in evidence that letter/notice was duly sent.The only difference between registered post and speed post is of time taken for delivery and it has nothing to do with admissibility of speed post receipt.

A.No issue. It is served. The law never say that it must be served by Regd Post even if it is there the SC has given otherwise verdict and clarifications.
