Service other than personal service

(1) Where the Court has not been able to serve notice of proceedings or the Order, as the case maybe, upon the respondent personally, it may, on application being made by the applicant supported by affidavit or affidavits, to include an affidavit of the person having conduct of the proceedings, make an Order for substituted service of the notice of proceedings or Order, as the case may be. (2) For the purpose of sub-section (1)(b) of this section, “substituted service’” means– (a) service by registered post to the last known address of the respondent; (b) leaving the documents at the last known address of the respondent; (c) service by advertisement in two weekly newspapers, which service is deemed to have been effected at midnight on the date of the later advertisement; or (d) service in such other manner as the Court may direct.
