2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner carefully perused the materials available on record and this Court also went through the docket order passed by the Court below.
3. In the case in hand, the petitioner has attempted all modes of service to serve the respondent and all the notices have been returned as ‘unserved/unclaimed’. The grievance of the petitioner is that the Court below without appreciating the said fact has once again directed the petitioner to serve notice to the respondent through electronic mode.
4. In the considered view of this Court, if the notice has been sent to the correct address and it has been retuned as unclaimed, the Court below has to proceed further and order for substituted service. A Court cannot allow the party to take the system for a ride and the Court must ensure that the process of law is followed for serving the summons. In the case in hand, for the last one year, the petitioner is not able to serve the summons on the respondent.
5. In the light of the above discussion, the Court below shall proceed further to order for substituted service and proceed further with the main petition in accordance with law.
