Re: Ex Parte order

In the same court you have to file set aside exparte Petition under order 9 rule 7 and Sec 151 of c.P.C.

After filing the Petition for representation by your counsel and as you have not appeared before the Honourable court, the court passed exparte orders agianst you.

You have three remedies.

1. Petition to set aside exparte order.

2. Review.

3. Appeal agianst the said order.

It is better to go for set aside exparte passed against you.
