Permissibility of delivering the documents to whoever states that he is his agent or works in his service, or to one of his relatives or relatives by marriage, subject to residing with him. - The process server’s omission to record the absence of the person to be served, or the relationship between him and the recipient of service, or residence with him. Its effect. Nullity of service. Rendering judgment notwithstanding this renders it void for having been issued in proceedings not constituted. The judgment’s contravention thereof vitiates it and requires its cassation.
