The service report dated 7 January 2025 would show that the service is complete on both the respondents.

An affidavit of service in this regard dated 9 August 2024 was filed by the learned Advocate for the applicant. She would today submit that on behalf of the applicant she has also undertaken paper publication to serve the respondents, considering the fact that they have not at all been appearing before this Court in the said proceedings.
