if the address of the summon is correct then the court presume that the delevery is properly made.According to the Hon'ble Supreme Court but I cannnot remember the citation at this time.

Somnath ji its not postal service its through the process server of the court.

Magistrate is right, pls refer to S.64 of Cr.P.C

in case the person is not found at home then service has to be on the adult male member of the family.

and construction of this section is strict in nature.
