Actual receipt was not indispensable where the tenant's own absence or conduct prevented delivery, because the landlord had done all that could reasonably be expected once the notice was posted. The Court also held that substituted service by affixture or process-server methods could not be read into the statute as an additional mandatory requirement when the provision specified service by post. On that footing, registered-post service was sufficient compliance and the eviction decree was upheld. en-us Mon, 28 Nov 1988 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 01 Sep 2015 15:07:03 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=172810 Under the Jammu and Kashmir Houses and Shops Rent Control Act, 1966, service of notice through post was satisfied by the landlord sending a prepaid, correctly addressed registered notice to the tenant's proper address.
