The correct answer is (a). Order 3, Rule 5 of the Code of Civil Procedure deals with service of process on pleader.
Order 3, Rule 5 of the Code of Civil Procedure states that “where a pleader is retained by a party to appear for him in any suit, the service of any process in the suit on such pleader shall be deemed to be good service on the party.”
This means that if a party has retained a pleader to represent them in a lawsuit, then any process served on the pleader will be considered to have been served on the party themselves. This is because the pleader is acting as the party’s agent in the lawsuit.
Order 2, Rule 2 of the Code of Civil Procedure deals with the service of summons. Order 7, Rule 3 of the Code of Civil Procedure deals with the service of notice of motion. Order 4, Rule 8 of the Code of Civil Procedure deals with the service of injunction.
These orders do not deal with the service of process on pleaders.
