Warrants are generally issued 10-15 days before the next date of hearing. You in between urgently move an application to issue warrants on the new address along with an affidavit stating the new address of the accused. Mention that accused will change his address again Court will issue the warrant on new address.

It is one the most frequent problems faced by the complainants.
The accused either does not accept the notice or abscond.

However there are remedies for the same.
1. Apply an application for change of address, as soon as the application will be listed, you can submit the same., and issue fresh process fees and summons to the accused on the fresh address, no need to wait for date.

2. Apply an application for summoning through alternate means, as done in many cases even at levels of High Court.

you can send me the contents, we can work through this to draft the subsequent applications and take necessary actions as soon as possible.

Yes there is a way.. you can file an application on preponment of the date of the case and on that date you can file the fresh address in the court . This will surely resolve your issue. If you want an application can be prepared in the same regard.

Under negotiable instrument act, you has filed a case, in which firstly you have to send a legal notice, that means accused is well in knowledge that you have approached the doors of court. Therefore it will beneficial for you as a ground in your arguments that he deliberately changed his address. Though, you or the counsel has just to file an application regarding supply of fresh address where summon is to be served.
