s 41Procedure when personal service cannot be effected

When the person to be summoned cannot by the exercise of due diligence be found and service cannot be effected as directed by section 40(4), the serving officer shall in the presence of two witnesses afix a copy of the summons to some conspicuous part of the house or other place in which the person summoned ordinarily resides and in such case the summons, if the Court so directs either before or after such affixing, is deemed to have been duly served.
