69. स्थानीय सीमाओं के बाहर सम्मन की तामील—जब कोई न्यायालय चाहता है कि उसके द्वारा जारी किया गया सम्मन उसकी स्थानीय अधिकारिता के बाहर किसी स्थान पर तामील किया जाए, तो वह सामान्यतः ऐसे सम्मन को दो प्रतियों में उस मजिस्ट्रेट को भेजेगा जिसकी स्थानीय अधिकारिता में वह व्यक्ति रहता है, या है, ताकि वहां तामील की जा सके।
