(1)A party shall not ordinarily be required to supply an identifier for the purpose of serving a summons or notice or any other process, whether issued by any subordinate Court of the High Court or received from a Court outside its jurisdiction, on a defendant, respondent, witness or other person and the serving officer shall serve the summons, notice or process after due enquiry as to the identity of the person on whom, or the house or property where the same is to be served. The serving officer shall, where he is unable to serve the process, obtain, whenever possible, the endorsement by signature or thumb impression of at least two persons of the locality.Note. - There being no legal obligation upon a plaintiff, decree-holder or appellant to supply an identifier for service of any process, no process-server should return unserved any notice, process or summons merely because no identifier could be had at the place of service. He must make every possible endeavour to find out the person on whom, or the house or property where the process is to be served.
