If you are sure that party is very much available at the address mentioned in the summon but avoiding to get served, then you can seek to serve summon through police.

Mr Sundaram is right. The court should issue non bailable warrant.

sorry mr. tripathy mr. sundaram refers to service of process through police not about issue of n b w

mr. mittal i am also facing similar problem as a matter of fact the magsts are very reluctant to issue even b w even after knowing that accused is avoiding service of summuns .at any rate pls go through a decision of the apex court reported in AIR 2007 (sc) 2083 which says that n b w can be issued even in a civil suit to ensure presence of a party.
