    Next Purpose: REPORT
    Next Hearing Date: 15-07-2022
    
    Date: 15-07-2022
    Business: Adv. Ms. Madhuri Lakhani for Plaintiff present filed Affidavit of Service of Writ of Summons upon Defendant Nos. 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7. t.o.r. and marked as Exhibit-__.
    Matter adjourned to 29/09/2022 for Order.
    Next Purpose: ORDER
    Next Hearing Date: 29-09-2022
    
    Date: 29-09-2022
    Business: Adv. Lakhani for Plaintiff present.
    None for Defendants.
    Learned Advocate Mr. Lakhani submits that defendant no.3 is reported dead.  The said fact is mentioned in the affidavit-Exhibit-05 dated 19.12.2019.  As such suit stands abated against defendant no.3.
    The said affidavit-Exhibit-05 further transpires that the writ of summons is served on defendant no.1 on 15.10.2019.  Postal acknowledgment is filed on record.
    On perusal of service affidavit-Exhibit06 it transpires that defendant no.7 is served on 23.04.2021 and postal acknowledgment to that effect is also palced on record.  However, so far as service to defendant nos.2, 4, 5 and 6 is concerned there are only on-line postal track reports placed on record.  No postal receipts are there to know as to which track report relates to which of the defendants.  Thus, I find it difficult to infer that these defendants are served.  In view of the same suit to proceed ex-parte against defendant nos.1 and 7.
    Learned advocate Mr. Lakhani seeks time to tender on record the postal receipts to clarify the above ambiguity.  Time granted.
    Matter adjd. to 30.11.2022 for Compliance.
    Next Purpose: COMPLIANCE

    It appears that writ of summons duly served to defendant Nos.2,4,5, and 6 by way of RPAD. The postal  receipt and online track report to that effect filed on record.  Defendant No.2,4,5,and 6 are duly served on 22/04/2021.
    In spite of service they failed to cause appearance hence, suit to proceed ex-parte against defendant No''s 2,4,5 and 6.
