• Petitioner address in criminal misc application

My understanding is that a petitioner and the respondent/s address is required primarily for delivery of court notices/service etc.

Therefore it does not have to be the petitioner's residential address. It can be any address for communication. As long as the petitioner receives communications at that address. 

My questions are:

1) Is this understanding correct?

2) are there in precedents to establish this.

1. The address cannot be just any address.

2. If the case is filed against an order passed by the courts below or it is for FIR quashing then the address apearing on the record of the trial court has to be mentioned as the first address.

The address given in the petition is for communication purposes only. 

Hence you may give the correct address through which the parties to the case can be reached.

1. IN criminal cases the residential address is preferably to be mentioned though there is no legal bar to mention the office address of parties as well.

2. There is no requirement to show precedent on this.

In writ petition addresses of all the parties including the petitioner and the respondent should be provided to issue notices.

It is the responsibility of the petitioner to provide correct addresses so that the notices issued by the court should reach to its recipients the petitioner has to take steps after the order of the court so that notices can be issued

You have to write address where you reside or where you want to receive the letters etc. There is no harm in giving an alternative address.

This is the law.

Ans: Yes, those addresses are mainly for the services of the first notice, petitions, any other service through the advocates for the other side etc.

No, there are no precedents to establish this, as these are recorded in the Bombay High Court Rules, Original Side and or the Appellate Side Rules.

However, if you are the Petitioner always remember to add all the addresses of the respondents (including residential and or office) address so as to make an effective service on all the addresses.
