Whatsapp blue ticks accepted as a proof of receipt in a Delhi court



According to experts at Nirmal Singh 3C Company, in a rather unusual move, Rohini Civil Court in Delhi noted that the blue double-tick of a Whatsapp message can be accepted as a valid proof that a legal notice has been viewed by the recipients. This action was taken as a response to a case that was filed by a resident of Delhi’s Model Town who had requested the court to immediately restrain his son, daughter-in-law and her parents and friend for trespassing onto the suit property.

The court had then advised the plaintiff to serve a legal notice to all the individuals he had complained against. So he sent a message to all on whatsapp which served as a notice, and of course this was delivered and read. Then, he colour-printed the chat and took it to court. When the printout was received by Senior Civil judge Sidharth Mathur, the notice was accepted as a proof that the defendants were aware of the scheduled hearing.


“I have gone through the record. The conveyance deed… of the suit property is in the name of the plaintiff, which makes him the exclusive owner… The defendants are restrained from trespassing into the suit property without due process of law till the next date of hearing. Though defendants number one to four have been served via WhatsApp, but still I deem it appropriate that they be served once again. Accordingly, issue fresh summons to defendants number one to four on filing PF/RC returnable for 24.05.2017,” stated the court order.



This move by the Delhi court is in accordance with many other countries which are experimenting the use of advancements in technology in judicial matters and proceedings. In the opinion of Nirmal Singh 3C Company, this move might pace the workflow of matters related to judiciary and faster verdicts of pending cases throughout the country, where the process is incredibly and infamously slow anyway. Before this, Justice Rajiv Sahai Endlaw had allowed the plaintiff to serve notices to the defendants with the use of technologies such as Whatsapp, email and text message.

Back in 2014, Kuldeep Singh, who was the SHO of a police station in Defence Colony, Delhi, had allegedly sent lewd text messages to a woman who had a case in the same police station.
