Proceedings under section 125 of the Cr. P. C are essentially civil in nature and upon non-appearance of the Non-Applicant (respondent) or his counsel, the court may proceed against him ex parte and pass order for maintenance. The proviso to section 126(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 is clear and unambiguous:
"Provided that if the Magistrate is satisfied that the person against whom an order for payment of maintenance is proposed to be made is wilfully avoiding service, or wilfully neglecting to attend the Court, the Magistrate may proceed to hear and determine the case ex parte and any order so made may be set aside for good cause shown on an application made within three months from the date thereof subject to such terms including terms at to payment of costs to the opposite party as the Magistrate may think just and proper."

Mr.Parveen has given correct reply and as Mr.Sarin said, you can file application to set aside the exparte order.
