Where any summons or any other document is served by any officer of a Court or by any constable, the service may be proved either by an endorsement on a copy of the document showing the fact and the time and mode of service or in any other manner prescribed by the rules. Any such endorsement shall be signed by the person who served the summons or document or, if the service was effected by registered letter in accordance with the rules, by an officer of the Court who knows of the service.

Every officer or constable who wilfully endorses any false statement on a copy of any summons or document commits an offence and is liable on conviction on indictment to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years or to a fine not exceeding two hundred pounds, or to both.

Every offence under this section is hereby declared to be an offence that may be dealt with by a Magistrate’s Court presided over by a Magistrate under and subject to the provisions of the Summary Jurisdiction Act 1952, and the provisions of that Act shall apply accordingly.”
