1) if court summons sent to the respondent by RPD (registered post acknowledgement due) & respondant refuses / avoids to accept the summons, what action is taken by court ??

2) Does summons sent by RPD carry the same weightage as the summons sent by court directly ??

3) What actions can be taken against the respondent who is trying to refuse / avoid the summons sent by RPD ??

Kindly Enlighten. 

1. If it is a civil case court may proceed expartee against such person, if it is criminla case court may issue warrant.

2.yes.

If the respondent is not - found / present / is trying to avoid the summons - and because of this, the summons is returned back, undelivered (i.e. - not served) 

Ideally, for how many times has the court / RPD summons is supposed to be sent ??

Procedure when service cannot be effected as before provided (Section 65) -
If service cannot by the exercise of due diligence be effected as provided in section 62, section 63, or section 64, the serving officer shall affix one of the duplicates of the summons to some conspicuous part of the house or homestead in which the person summoned ordinarily resides; and thereupon the Court, after making such inquiries as it thinks fit, may either declare that the summons has been duly served or order fresh service in such manner as it considers proper.

The service of summons on a witness can also be done by post. As per Section 69 -
(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in the preceding sections of this Chapter, a Court issuing a summons to a witness may, in addition to and simultaneously with the issue of such summons, direct a copy of the summons to be served by registered post addressed to the witness at the place where he ordinarily resides or carries on business or personally works for gain.
(2) When an acknowledgment purporting to be signed by the witness or an endorsement purporting to be made by a postal employee that the witness refused to take delivery of the summons has been received, the Court issuing the summons may declare that the summons has been duly served.
