Quick Summary

If a legal notice isn't replied to, it doesn't automatically prove the allegations are true; you still need to present evidence. However, if the other party fails to appear in court after being served summons, an ex-parte order might be passed. This order can be absolute unless the absent party successfully applies to have it set aside by demonstrating a valid reason for their non-appearance.

1. No. Non-reply to a notice is not a proof. The opposite party or their lawyer may attend court. 2. Yes. 3. the absent party may have the right to challenge and seek the reversal of the order under specific legal provisions. This process, often governed by the Civil Procedure Code in various jurisdictions, allows the absent party to present compelling reasons, such as improper service of summons or a “sufficient cause” for non-appearance. The goal is to ensure that justice is served and that both parties have a fair opportunity to present their cases, ultimately safeguarding the principles of fairness and due process in the legal system.

( 1 ) No, you have to prove by cogent evidence that you had lent money to him.
( 2 ) yes,until and unless the order is not set aside by court.
( 3 ) yes, if opposite party shows sufficient cause for his non appearance on hearing dat such order may be set aside/stayed.

For staying of ex-party order, is court free ( as required for money suit) is to be paid by opposite party?

Advocate Bhartesh goyal (Expert) 17 December 2023
No, opposite party has to file petition for setting aside ex-parte order/judgment alongwith stay application.

T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Expert) 17 December 2023
If you have filed the money recovery suit and the defendant prefers not to attend the court even after receiving the summons through court and post, then the court will set him exparte.
After that you will be required to file exparte evidence and then the court will pass a judgment.
Subsequently you file an execution petition to execute the court judgement as per procedures of law.
First of all follow the court procedures properly through your lawyer, you will understand the details involved in it.
