Yes. You are right. Notice is not necessary to the defendant for a proceeding Under Order 9 Rule 4 CPC. There is no limitation period also for filing the petition under order 9 rule 4 .

I am sorry that my opinion on the question of limitation is not correct in view of the judgment of the supreme court of india reported in AIR 2006 Sc 2712 and 2006 Vol 6 SCC 569 which lays down that there is limiation period and Sc.5 Limitation Act can be invoked for condonation of delay. I wish to state that my earlier opinion on this point was based on the judgment of the Karnataka High Court which is no more valid in view of the supreme court judgment abovesaid.On the point of notice I stand by my earlier opinion and there is no change in that regard. I regret for the incovenience caused in this regard to the query maker.
