The summons in the criminal case handed over to a third person cannot be considered as a valid service of summons.

The service of the summons is the duty of the court and not of the petitioner.
The court knows the procedures to serve the summons if the accused is not found in the given address.
The court can issue bailable warrant and can execute it through local police.
