Order 5 Rule 9-A of the Code of Civil Procedure (C.P.C.) allows the court to give
"Dasti" Summons to the plaintiff for service on the defendant. This provision enables the plaintiff to directly serve the summons to the defendant, ensuring quicker and more effective service. The process is especially useful when the plaintiff is better placed to deliver the summons personally or when the defendant is evading service.

"Dasti" Summons under Order 5 Rule 9-A, C.P.C.: "Dasti" summons refers to the practice where the court gives a copy of the summons directly to the plaintiff for personal service on the defendant, in addition to the normal process of service. This method helps expedite the service of summons and ensures that the defendant is notified more quickly about the suit.
The provision under
Order 5 Rule 9-A was introduced to assist in situations where the usual modes of serving summons (through court process or post) might face delays or inefficiencies.
