ST/CUS/CE- Speed Post is also Registered Post- only difference is charges payable and speed of delivery - Service of notice, orders etc. by Speed post is to be considered as equivalent to service by registered post.
In - , the Orissa High Court held that both in the case of "registered post" as well as "speed post", the articles when delivered to the post offices, receipts thereof are required to be issued and consequently, both "speed post" and "registered post" satisfy the requirement of Section 28 of the Indian Post Office Act, 1898. The only difference between registered post and speed post if at all is the charges payable are normally higher for "speed post" as the name suggests the delivery of such articles at an early date . Consequently, the amending statute is held as "clarificatory amendment" and would have retrospective effect.
On 14.09.2015, the Supreme Court dismissed the SLP filed by the party.
