Challanging A Divorce decree
3 years ago
The respondent (my wife) didnot appear for any hearings during the entire tenure of the case. Now the Ex-parte decree is passed in my favour when my wife did not appear before the court. I want to know if wife can challenge this Decree? If yes, then what is the maximum period during which she can challenge.
My decree does not mention anything about the Alimony &/or compensation in the Decree. Can my wife demand any such alimony/compensation now?

A.Hello !
Yes your wife can seek setting aside the ex-parte decree passed in your favour by filing an Application under Order 9 Rule 13 of the Civil Procedure Code, 1908 in the same court which passed the said decree. To be more specific, there may be many grounds on the basis of which such an application can be filed and one of those grounds is non receipt of summons to the defendant. She may plead that she never received the summons regarding the suit and if she's able to satisfy the court then I am afraid your decree may be set aside. The time limit for filing of such application is 30 days from the date of decree or if tje defendant says that she didn't receive the summons then in that case 30 days from the date when the defendant came to know about the decree.

A.Hi,
Order 9 Rule 13 states that while setting aside ex-parte decree, the defendant may apply to the Court by which the decree was passed for an order to set it aside and if the Court is satisfied that the summons were not duly served, or that he was prevented by any sufficient means from appearing when the suit was called. If you found this helpful, please rate us.
