Dispute between landowner and builder

Hemantha (Querist) 25 June 2013 This query is : Resolved
Hi Sir/Madam,

Their is a dispute between Landowner and Builder on JV, with regard to transaction between them. Landowner had registered a case in civil court against Builder and Flat owner, which he says their is some share in the property.

We came to know that summons was issued to all the people by court to our previous address which we are not living now. due to that i was not aware of this.

But builder had received the summons but he didn't appear in front of the court.

I would like to know what would be the step i need to take now? As summons is not addressed to proper address. Should i need to wait for the summons to respond?

The summons will be returned due to change of your address. The landowner has to take fresh steps to serve the summons by finding the new address or else as a last resort the court may order paper publication if the address is not traceable. I suggest you to take the assistance of advocate and follow up the matter carefully.
