If service cannot by the exercise of due diligence be effected as provided in
section 62, section 63 or section 64, the serving officer shall affix one of the
duplicates of the summons to some conspicuous part of the house or homestead in
which the person summoned ordinarily resides; and thereupon the Court, after
making such inquiries as it thinks fit, may either declare that the summons has
been duly served or order fresh service in such manner as it considers proper.
