In the affidavit filed in support of the aforesaid applications it is averred that the writ petition was filed by the petitioner challenging the order dated 27-10-2005 passed in S. C. C.

The learned Counsel for the petitioner was also directed to give his case laws on the next date. Thereafter, the case was listed on 20-12-2006 when it has been allowed by quashing the order and judgment dated 27-10-2005 passed by the Additional District Judge, Court No. 6, Bijnor in S. C. C. Revision No. 21 of 2004.
The contention of the learned Counsel for the respondents is that the postman neither came to serve summons upon them nor made any enquiry or information from the respondents hence it appears that the petitioner has managed the endorsement of the postman in collusion with him; that at no point of time, the notice had been served upon the respondent, as such, the order dated 20-11-2006 deeming the service to be sufficient on respondent Nos. 1 to 4 is neither in accordance with law nor in accordance with Rules of the Court and there is no order for sufficiency of service of order of notice on respondent No. 5 in so far as he is covered by order dated 20-12-2006, the Court allowed the writ petition quashing the judgment and order dated 27-10-2005 passed by the Additional District Judge, Court No. 6, Bijnor in S. S. C. Revision No. 21 of 2004.
