Rule 32. Service of Summons or Notice

(1) A summon or notice may, on payment of the required fee, be sent by the court by which it is issued, either by registered post or in such other manner as the court thinks fit.

(2) Where the court is satisfied that there is reason to believe that the opposite party is avoiding service or that for any reason the summons or the notice cannot be served in the ordinary way, the court shall order summons or the notice to which served by publication in the leading newspapers or in any other mode as the court may think proper.

(3) Where a summons or notice is served under sub-rule (2) the court shall fix such time for the appearance of the opposite party as the circumstances of the case may require.
