Hi,
If it is registered notice then it is the responsibility of post men to deliver to that person only, if he doesn't find that person then he will keep note of that to take it within 3, 4 days. That person will have to contact to that Post office. If that person doesn't take itbin ghis circumstances then he will give report accordingly.postmen may give refusal note because it was knowledge with that person , and it confirms that he is residing on that address. If justifiable cause explained to postmen of non presence of that particular person he may give different remarks.
Thanks

Postman is right at his job, he cannot serve notice to a person other than noticee, However postman intimate to collect notice from concern post office within specified duration (15 days), if noticee didn't collect notice in given time, post man will return it to sender with remark "Refused to collect" which means Notice have been served to the noticee but he rejected to accept, Hence it is Legally Served Notice and sender can initiate further proceeding.
