Limitation iin setting aside an exparte decree.

(Querist) 04 June 2009 This query is : Resolved 
Is ther any period of limitation for setting aside an exparte decree?
Gopal Krishna Behera (Querist) 04 June 2009
The period of limitation for the filling of an application to set aside an ex parte decree is 30 days from the date of the passing of the decree, or the date which the applicant had knowledge of the decree when the summoms was not duly served. (Art. 123, Limitation Act,1963. But in the latter case the onus is on the defendant to prove that it was oresented within 30 days of his having knowledge of the decree.
Gopal Krishna Behera (Querist) 04 June 2009
The rule of procedure prescribed in Order 9,r-13 is, therefore depandant upon and unequivocally connected with Art-123 of the Limitation Act,1963.

No decree shall be set aside on any such application, unless notice thereof has been served on the opposite party.
