Statutory service of an uncommunicated adjudication order triggers limitation for challenge after bank-account recovery withdrawal.

An uncommunicated adjudication order must be served through the prescribed statutory mode where it was not uploaded on the portal and the affected person remained uninformed. Bank-account recovery proceedings were withdrawn, restoring normal operation of the account. The applicable limitation period for challenging the adjudication order will run from valid service. Questions concerning limitation for passing the order or any other challenge to it remain open.
