It means that the summons was served and notice of its service was returned to the issuing agency.
if the summons was returned unserved, the plaintiff should asked the court to issue an alias summons if the whereabouts of the defendant is ascertained.

"Return of summons" refers to the acknowledgment or documentation provided by a court official or process server confirming that a summons has been delivered to a party involved in a legal proceeding. It indicates that the party has been formally notified about the legal action being taken against them.
It could mean one of several things. Anywhere from: the address on the summons does not exist - the individual named in the summons does not exist , cannot be found, or they do not live at the address - or, it could also mean that the summons was signed for by someone other than the summoned party. You must make inquiry of the court to detemine the exact reason.
"Service returned" on a justice system docket typically means that the court has confirmed that legal documents have been properly delivered or served to all parties involved in the case. It is an important step in ensuring that all parties have been notified of the legal proceedings in order to proceed with the case.
No, the case can not continue until you have been legally served. When it is returned as unserved, the case effectively ends unless they issue an alias summons (i.e. additional attempt to serve you). What this also means is that the summons was returned to the court, and was not successfully served, therefore no process server has a copy to potentially serve you later UNLESS an alias summons is issued to try a second time to serve you. It is wise to keep watch to make sure this does not occur.
