Legal Question in Criminal Law in India

Whether this is legal if in a case u/s 138 N I Act, if bailable warrant or arrest warrant was got from the court by the complainant himself and the said warrants are sent to concerned Police Station for execution by Registered Post A/D by complainant as writing senders� name as of court name (or complainant should write his own name as sender) and the receipt of Registry along with the photocopy of warrant is submitted to the court?

If answer is that, this is legal and no problem then whether the photostate copy of photograph of accused even if the photo of accused is not submitted to court�s record can be sent along with the warrant for easiness to recognize the accused?

This is being asked as in Metro Cities, there are more than 20 police stations and there is not proper delivery system of warrants, so in most of the cases, warrants kept on lying in court itself even upto the date of next hearing.

Thanks in advance,
