This query is : Resolved
we have filed a HMP for divorce u/s. 13 in Civil Court
More than 3-4 times we have tried, the court summons is not served to the respondent. The summons by RPAD is also unsearved.
on our application under order 5 rule 20 for an advertisement as substitute service, Hon'ble court had allowed our application for public notice, but court had made a specific order to advertise in TIMES OF INDIA MUMBAI ADDITION because the respondent is living at Mumbai. After the said order we have inquired about the rate of such advertisement, it is more than 1 lacs. for the said addition in court per-forma.
sir, on our request to change the paper advertisement instead of TOI to other court had given 4 feb for the hearing. and told that once order is passed not be changed.
the case is on hearing of the application to change the paper publication from TOI to DNA or Gujarat Samachar Mumbai addition.
pl suggest me /give me authorities of SC or HC in support of our argument.

you cna draw attention to court that Times of india is demading rs 1 lakh fro advertisment . find outcomparable rates for Hindustan times . Free Press journal and other newspapers published from Mumbai . what is necessary is that newspaer must have wide circulation in the city .

You can file an application seeking permission to publish the summons in another news paper. You bring to the court notice that TOI charge is Rs.100,000/-

No authority or judgment is required in this case.
The court will allow you to publish in another well circulated newspaper if it is satisfied.
You are not required to publish a full page or half page ad in the newspaper. Only a fes columns are needed. The charges stated by TOI is exhorbitant.

This is not a case for which you need citation.
If you state the court what you have just mentioned here the court would surely modify its order at least in WB the courts regularly consider such prayaers.
