If his wife receives the summons then it will be good service. Alternatively you can apply for papaer publication as well. Criminal case would not recover you money.

As you know 15 more cases going on. So he must be appearing before court. ger summon ready " by hand" and apply to court to serve where he is present, Court Will allow it, and summon will be served upon him..

As wife refuse to receive summon. The summon is presumed served. Apply the court baliff for the summon served then go for paper publication.

Refusal is proper service

Acceptance of summons by wife can be treated as service but her refusal to receive th summon cannot be treated as service. Next alternative is to serve the summons through substitute service only. A cheating case could have been given to the EOW Police before filing this civil suit, now it will be ineffective.
