You can send notice by email.  and also take exparte orders based on non-appearance of respondent, but be ready to roam to court as exparte orders are temporary in nature and can be challenged in appelate courts.  Where there is a way, there are hundred ways to misuse it.

Very well advised by expert "Helping Hand" who is otherwise also really a HELPING HAND to needy litigants.

Although your query is debatable on an academic topic qua service of summons by Court yet I do not subscribe to your views since in a civil case the Court is competent to pass an ex-parte order, if prayed. In a layman's language "stay"/injuction/status quo order is instantly issued in serious/urgent case(s) at the time of admission stage itself, without issuance of summons/ notice to defendant(s) till next date of hearing, which is must faster than any mode of service (including e-mail) of summon/notice.

In case of criminal complaint police is competent to arrest accused even before issuance of warrant of arrest and in that case no need to file application, issue of summons, notice and/or warrant.
