One friend filed for divorce on ground of mental cruelty and separation against wife.
Since she was staying in her parent's house and working in a nearby private firm after the separation, husband used her parent's house address as her residential address in the divorce petition and the court sent notice to the same address which returned mentioning 'addressee not available at the address'.
On inquiring he came to know that she left India to avoid receiving the notice and staying with one of her relative's family in UAE and not sure whether she is working there or not.
His advocate is not giving clear answers to his questions about serving notice, and says its civil case and so a bit difficult to serve notice without correct address.
So, please let me know how to get the notice served in this situation, and other possible ways to proceed further.

Her parent's home address where she stayed before marriage and also after the separation from husband. No clue about her present UAE address.

serve on last know address as you have no other address. If returned unserved repeatedly then give newspaper notice.
