LITIGATION NOTICE SERVED IF SENT ON WHATSAPP AND BLUE TICKS CAN BE SEEN: BOMBAY HIGH COURT

While hearing an application filed by SBI Cards and Payment Services to execute an arbitration award against a Nalasopara resident, Rohidas Jadhav, relating to payment of credit card dues of Rs 1.17 lakh, the Bombay high court has held that service of notice about a litigation through WhatsApp is valid according to the enactment of the Information Technology Act, which recognises electronic communication as evidence, and observed that the blue ticks on the message revealed that Jadhav, who was evading the bank had received the lawyer's notice in a PDF message and read it, then it is considered as proof that the physical copies of the messages have been accepted the respondent.
