What Is a Court Notice Ad in a Newspaper?

A court notice ad is a legal advertisement published in a newspaper to inform the public or specific individuals about legal proceedings or court orders. These ads are required by law to ensure proper communication and transparency.

They are often used as a substitute for personal service, known as substituted service. This applies when a person cannot be found, is avoiding service, or their location is unknown. Once the notice is published in a court-approved newspaper and the tear sheet is submitted, it is legally treated as served.

The Law Behind Court Notice Newspaper Advertisements

Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 — Order V, Rule 20 (Substituted Service)
If the court allows service through a newspaper, the publication must be in a daily newspaper that circulates in the area where the defendant last lived or worked. This type of service is treated the same as personal service.

Criminal Procedure Code / Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS)
In criminal matters, Section 82 of the CrPC allows courts to issue a public notice for a person who is absconding or hiding, requiring them to appear in court.

Other Applicable Laws
Laws like the Companies Act, 2013, and the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 also require newspaper notices for certain legal processes such as company winding-up or insolvency cases.

When Is a Court Notice Newspaper Advertisement Required?

✓

The defendant cannot be found at their last known address

✓

Multiple attempts to serve notice have failed

✓

The defendant is intentionally avoiding service

✓

The court believes normal service is not possible

✓

The law requires publication for specific cases like succession, insolvency, or winding-up

Which Newspapers Should You Publish Court Notice Ads In?

The newspaper must have wide circulation and be accepted by the court. Usually, the court may specify the newspaper. If not, the plaintiff’s lawyer should choose a well-known daily that circulates in the area where the defendant last lived or worked.

City	English Newspaper	Regional Newspaper
Mumbai	Times of India / Free Press Journal	Navshakti / Maharashtra Times
