My father is a retired government officer and has received summons as a witness in an old criminal case from 2012 in Rohini Courts, Delhi. He was involved only in official capacity while issuing a license and is not an accused in the matter.

We live in assam, and we are considering sending an exemption application / request for VC appearance through Speed Post before the next hearing date.

My question is:

Has anyone here successfully had such an application accepted when sent only through post(bluedart/speed post ) without physically appearing or using a lawyer?

Will the court usually take it on record if it reaches before the hearing date, or is physical filing/e-filing generally necessary?

Also, should copies additionally be emailed to the court/police station as precaution?

Would appreciate practical advice from advocates or anyone with experience in Rohini Courts / Delhi district courts.

TL;DR: Retired government officer received court summons/bailable warrant as a witness in Delhi for an old official-capacity matter. Can exemption/VC request application sent by Speed Post alone be accepted by the court without personal appearance or lawyer?

It is better to engage an advocate to present the copy physically. That is preferable

I can help you out. Courts in Rohini are not very tech friendly, yes there is a VC facility where neither the judge would listen to you nor you would be able to listen to him.
