1. Ex parte matters are usually temporary orders (like a restraining order or temporary custody) pending a formal hearing or an emergency request for a continuance. Most jurisdictions require at least a diligent attempt to contact the other party's lawyer of the time and place of any ex parte hearing.

2. If a defendant does not respond to a complaint at all, either by filing an answer, a motion to dismiss, or a similar response, the plaintiff may ask the court to enter a default judgment against the defendant. A default judgment is an automatic loss for the defendant.

3.  An exparte order given against the respondent will be an order against him for restraint 

4.  If an interim injunction given in an exparte order then the defendant cannot sell the property in litigation.

5. If it is sold during the subsistence of the exparte order then it can be considered as contempt of court and action may be taken against the defaulter.

6.  Within one month.

An ex parte decision is one decided by a judge without requiring all of the parties to the controversy to be present.

Under the provisions of Order 9 Rule 13 of the CPC, where a decree is passed ex parte against a defendant, he may apply to the Court by which the decree was passed for an order to set it aside.

Dear Sir,

An ‘Ex parte decree’ is a decree passed against a defendant in absentia. Despite service of summons, where on the date of hearing only plaintiff does and a defendant does not appear the Court may hear the suit ex parte and pass a decree against the defendant. The legal validity, enforceability and operation of such decree is similar to any bi-parte decree.

The Right to be heard in a suit is one of the tenets of principles of natural justice and our Civil procedure duly provides for such right to the party. Despite the sufficient opportunity provided if the party does not avail this to explain himself, in court hears the suit ex parte. In order for the justice system to be efficient and to not prejudice the rights of the plaintiff this is justified.

However, owing to unavoidable reasons the party might not appear for the hearing. In such cases the Code is sensitive those genuine cases. On careful reading of Order IX Rule 13 it is obvious that the applicant for setting aside the ex parte decree should satisfy the Court that there was sufficient cause for its non- appearance on the date of hearing. As noted earlier an application under this rule cannot be entertained on moral or humanitarian grounds however; the Courts cannot be deaf toward the realities of life.

  1. As per the information mentioned in the present query, makes it clear that the implications of an ex parte order up to certain extent is understood by you.
  2. Once the ex parte order has been passed then there also two things need to be looked into as :-
  3. If it is pre/ temporary order with respect to the property then other party may have right to seek prayer as to not to create any third party interest till the final outcome of the case.
  4. But, if the ex parte has been passed due to non prosecution then other party may have to appeal against the order in appellate court to get the justice.
