Since the Delhi Police is a Central Public Authority and the PIO's reply is being sent under a central Act, the PIO is obliged in law to "serve" his reply by Registered Post (which includes SpeedPost) only if he is sending it by Post. The provision in law is section 27 (??) of the General Clauses Act. Of course there may be a dispute as to whether a reply under RTI needs to be "served".
In any case, UPC is not legally admissible as proof of delivery / service.
