The Court held that the notice to Respondent No.14 may be issued by publication in a newspaper circulating in the relevant district.
Summary
The petitioner, Shankar Parvati Multi Projects through its proprietor Vaibhav Chaburauji Jadhav, filed a civil application and writ petition against the State of Maharashtra and others, seeking service of notice on Respondent No.14, Sudhakar Mohanrao Nikalje. The application specifically prayed for issuance of the notice by publishing it in a newspaper circulating in Jalna District. The respondents contested the mode of service, arguing that personal service was required. The High Court examined the adequacy of notice by publication under the circumstances and found that the petitioner had satisfied the requisite criteria. Consequently, the Court allowed the application and ordered that the notice be issued through newspaper publication as prayed. The order was delivered by Justices Nitin B. Suryawanshi and Abasaheb D.
