What is a Legal Notice? In a situation given a person enters into a contract, which is perfectly sound, and if a particular party in that contract does not follow the duties that were assigned in order for successful fulfillment of the requirements then it leads to breach of a contract e.g.: Installation and Usage of an Optic Fiber for the internet and Non-payment of the stipulated fees for the usage of the internet. In a scenario like the one aforementioned, the other party will request the failing party to repay the stipulated amount. However, despite several reminders if the party fails to repay the amount for the fulfillment of the contract, the aggrieved party could send a legal notice for the payment of fine. Legal notice plays an essential role in the enforcement of legal suits and proceedings as they indicate whether a person or an individual is about to be sued based on certain grounds mentioned in them and therefore serve as an indication that the other party needs to defend themselves. Section 80 of the Civil Procedure Code provides for issuing legal notice prior to proceeding for a suit before the competent court. Legal notice is not necessary in various cases, although Section 80 makes it more for a procedural requirement than a substantive one. List of things that ought to be mentioned in a Legal Notice? Name of the parties: It is essential and compulsory to mention the name of the parties including their respective addresses. Facts and Grounds: it is also critical to mention facts and the grounds on which such a claim is to be made. Compensation: Upon the damage caused by the assailant or the accused, the claim shall be made on the grounds that have been mentioned earlier. It is also essential to mention laws and provisions under which such compensation claims are being made. Signature: The signature of the concerned party is essential in the Legal notice to attest that it is a competent party who has sent the legal notice to the person against whom damages are being claimed.

Yes. Recent developments in the laws and ease in procedural complications has made it easier for the legal notices to be sent to the person against whom such damages are being claimed via WhatsApp.
It was ruled by the Delhi HC, that a notice could be served by an advocate or an individual via Email, Fax, or Messages, whether WhatsApp or normal message. Therefore, if a person has sent a legal notice and a sign of blue double tick could be seen by the person claiming compensation, such a situation will be considered as a situation, where a legal notice has been duly served.
In case, a person or an advocate is not able to find the address where the notice is to be served, he shall do the following:
Institution: In order to send a legal notice to an institution, the person needs to check the place of the institution and mention the suit in the name of the director or the head of the department or the name of the institution after checking the relevant address.
Individual: in the case of an individual, the person or an advocate needs to enquire for the address of the person and if such inquiry fails, the person shall do so through email, fax, or messaging.
