It can be served at any convenient time when summoned person or his relative can be available at the address.
Probably you are mixing the issue with timing for execution of decree / award / order passed by competent court.
Kishor Mehta (CEO) 29 October 2020
The Court Bailiff usually can come at reasonable timings between 9.30am and 6.00pm, however if the person is not available during these timings, the Court Bailiff will paste the Court summons at the door on his third visit make a report in his record book and in such event the summons are considered as legally served.

Usually the Court Bailiff would not do so intentionally, unless he bears some personal grudge against the person. However the argument appears academic and is useless as the main purpose is to serve and receive the Court summons, which is received after having been delivered or pasted. Important matter is the attendance of the person at the Court at the prescribed time. You can file a seperate case against the Court Bailiff for any misdemeanor.

If the bailiff is indulging in mischief, you can complain. However, in a judicial proceedings, one should not miss the woods for the trees.
A. A. JOSE (LAWYER; LEGAL ADVISER/CONSULTANT& TRAINER) 29 October 2020
As far as I know, no such specific time-frame has been stipulated but normally during the day time, i,e. before sunset especially where women alone are staying. However, it may depend upon various factors and circumstances. As you may be knowing sometime back even the highest Court of the land conducted some urgent matters even during night with short notice and in such cases, Court Notices/Summons may have to be served even at odd hours too!
