It explores how increasing globalization has prompted the adoption of the Hague Convention on the Service Abroad of Judicial and Extrajudicial Documents, facilitating cross-border litigations. With around 82 states, including India, as signatories, the convention establishes a framework for efficient document service between jurisdictions. The paper delves into the process, central authorities' roles, and implications for service between signatory and non-signatory states.
