Wife not receiving summons

What are the remarks mentioned on the summons by the postal authorities?Summons can be sent by the court through the ameena(Dasti Service) and U can also accompany for serving the summons.The notice can also be published in a local news paper where U feel she is residing,and this as a last resort.Even after all these hasseles she does not turnup,U can pray to the court for awarding ex-partee decree.

But here I feel that UR father in law is playing mischief of evading summons.

the remarks on the courier and speed post are "delivered". But the judge told us that the lady didn't received the summons and the summons returned with the remark "Said person is working somewhere else so summons could not be served". The problem with dasti service is that she will hide and her relatives will deny her presence. Publishing in a news paper seems to be a solution but i think court will direct us to do this. 

But my question is i have provided her permanent address(clearly mentioned in the marriage certificate) to court and if she is not accepting the summons and she has moved from that address is it my duty to search for her new address? 

U have only 2 options now (1) give a paper publication and (2) Make an appeal in the higher court.

In your case as said working elsewhere. its no where stated that she is not staying there also speed post  and courier shows it delivers . You need to press stating that residence is the same and the same has been accepted by her speed post . Press on this point .

Take a printout of the status of the courier and speed post and file it in the court, if the judge is not convinced with your oral statement. But in my opinion, the judge thinks that the summons are supposed to be received by the wife herself and the address to which the summons are served alone is not material. 

Learned members, kindly clarify if there is anything in matrimonial cases that the summons ought to be received by the spouse in order to be accepted by the court as served.

Why would the Judge say that she has not received summons?It is not his duty.To whom did the father of the girl say that they would not accept the summons?Is it no the duty of the petitioner to provide the correct address of the respondent?

The judge cannot keep on prolonging the case till the summons are received by the respondent,he has to declare expartee decree.
