(ii) the Court may also, if it thinks fit, direct a copy of the proclamation to be published in a daily newspaper circulating in the place in which such person ordinarily resides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(3) A statement in writing by the Court issuing the proclamation to the effect that the proclamation was duly published on a specified day, in the manner specified in clause (i) ofsub-section (2), shall be conclusive evidence that the requirements of this section have been complied with, and that the proclamation was published on such day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
