Any ex parte decree can be set aside if sufficient cause is shown within 30 days of knowledge of decree. However even afterwards if sufficient cause for delay is shown - the delay can be condoned via Section 5 Limitation Act, 1908. Whether the delay in this case would be condoned depends on facts and circumstances.
