Report No. 100

2.8. Mention of wrong particulars.-

In a Delhi case,1 in the notice given to the railway authorities, the main station was mentioned, instead of the city booking once; An objection was raised that this defect invalidated the notice. Fortunately, the objection was overruled. Similarly, in a Patna case2 the notice under section 80 mentioned a wrong number of the railway receipt, though the correct number was mentioned in the plaint. On this score, an attempt was made to invalidate the notice. However, the attempt failed.
