non-receipt of notice of divorce petition

First of All u didnt write the reason or the report ...that why it is undelivered......if the report is wrong address/ incomplete address , you can move a fresh address application and can serve the notice on that new address.......else make an application for service of notice by hand or by any court staff....you can do it in your presence..............aftter these attempts your counsel can press for ex-parte orders..............[as far as my knowledge is concerned.......]

All the best

address is correct. reason respondent not available at the time of serving notice. whether notice can be served on parents who also reside at same address

yes notice can be served to her parents....but any male / elder member should recieve the notice....or you can get the service of notice done at any other address like her office address......etc....and ask ur lawyer to pray for ex-parte divorce decree if she had been given reasonable opportunities and reasonable time to appear and contest or to file her reply......

or you can go for alternative mode of service of notice.......under CPC.....again consult ur lawyer

first of all tell whether respondent is wife or hubby. if wife is respondent be ready to face dva and 498a. god bless u.try dasti summons on parents

U can request to the Hon'ble Court for publication in Newspaper. For further queries u can contact me at 9871158578

Donot worry, it happens. my respondent avoided notice about 2 years. after that on my request under cpc (sec could not remember - if you require send me pm) i applied before the court that notice delibarately avoiding by the respondent, the court publish the notice to the local newspaper thereafter notice received by respondent to avoid ex party. keep it mind that the notice will be published by a court officer against an order by the court. court will ordered against a petition of you, as mentioned above. you have to pay the cost of publiction and a small fees to court, and a seperate petition requesting the court under the cpc. do not allow your advocate to paper publish,- it has no legal value only wastage of money. after  three times of return the summons you have the right to get the matter ex party, pursue at court on the matter. if any difficulty faced contact me by pm or post your problem here.

please read 'on the point' instead of 'on the matter'.

Thanks Mr Daksh.
