Application for dismissal or disposal or restoration of Suits
Application to set aside ex-parte decree: O.9 R.13
Where an ex-parte decree is passed against the defendant, the defendant may apply to the Court under this Rule, to set it aside, either on the grounds that the summons were not duly served upon him and he was not aware of the proceeding; or that due to “cogent and reasonable reason”, he was prevented from appearing when the suit was called on for hearing.
