Hi,
I have filed an RCR case 2 years ago.
My Lawyer sent 1st summons / notice to my wife through registered post. She herself received it and also signed the delivery receipt.
She did not appear in court for 4-5 dates. After that, when we asked the court a permission for ex-parte processing, Hon'ble judge said the service of summons through post is invalid and must be done through bailiff.
By that time, when we sent the reissued summons through bailiff, my wife & family changed their house, as they were living in rented house. Bailiff sent the summons back mentioning respondent / family does not live there anymore.
Now, we don't have her new address. Her relatives and neighbours are also saying or pretending that they too don't have their new address.
In this situation,
- what shall I do?
- can this case go for ex-parte?
- should the summons be sent to her relatives?
- I got to know that she is doing further studies and living in hostel. I have confirmed it. Shall I send the summons to hostel address? What if she / hostel does not take the delivery?
- what other alternatives are there?
- Can police / Mahila Takrar Nivaran Kendra help me for this?
I have wasted my 2.5 years in this matter and there is zero progress. All this is just wasting my years & life. I am really frustrated now. Please, guide me.
