    Adjourned for affidavit of service of writ of summons to 14.11.2019
    Next Purpose: AFFIDAVIT OF SERVICE
    Next Hearing Date: 14-11-2019
    
    Date: 14-11-2019
    Business: Adv. Vishwanathan for plaintiff present.
    Affidavit of service filed by the plaintiff.
    It appears that none of the defendants have been served. The ld. counsel for the plaintiff seeks time to take steps.
    Adjourned for steps to 20.11.2019.
    Next Purpose: FOR TAKING STEPS
    Next Hearing Date: 20-11-2019
    
    Date: 20-11-2019
    Business: Adv. Vishwanathan for plaintiff present.
    The Ld. advocate for the plaintiff seeks time to take steps to serve the defendant. Adjourned as a last chance for taking steps to 5.12.2019.
    Next Purpose: FOR TAKING STEPS
    Next Hearing Date: 05-12-2019
    
    Date: 05-12-2019
    Business: Adv. Ms. Vishwanathan for plaintiff present.
    None for deft.
    Plaint.
    Vakalatnama.
    Memo of address.
    List of documents.
    Application for substituted service.
    O. - Read application.  Heard.  The Ld. Counsel for the plaintiff submitted that plaintiff has taken effort to serve deft. by registered post A.D.  The sealed envelopes with writ of summons in it returned unserved with postal endorsement that the defendants left the said address. The Ld. Counsel for the plaintiff further submitted that plaintiff has already filed affidavit of service to that effect. She would submit that before filing of the suit, letters were issued to the defendants which were duly served on the address mentioned in the cause title.  The plaintiff is not aware of any other address of deft. and therefore, presses for substituted service.
            I perused the record.  On going through the record, it reveals that the defts. were not served for the reason that they left the said premises.  Plaintiff is a constituted banking company and therefore, it is not possible for plaintiff to have the other address of the defts.  Apart from that, it is stated on oath that defts. were served with legal notice on the same address.  In this background, the application for substituted service needs consideration. Hence, it is expedient to pass following order.
    ORDER
    1.     Application (Exh.5) is allowed.
    2.    Plaintiff is permitted to serve writ of summons to the defendants by advertisement in daily newspaper widely circulated in the locality where the defendants last resided both in English and regional language.
