An express recital of that satisfaction in the order sheet is not mandatory where the surrounding record shows repeated unsuccessful attempts at personal service; in such circumstances, the court may presume that the required satisfaction existed before substituted service was ordered. On that basis, the challenge to the substituted service order failed, and the ex parte decree was not set aside. en-us Sat, 20 Aug 1966 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 01 Mar 2018 11:03:31 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=199467 Order 5 Rule 20 CPC permits substituted service only after the trial court is satisfied that the defendant is avoiding service or cannot be served in the ordinary way.
