Not Necessary To File Separate Application For Delay Condonation Along With Application To Set Aside Ex-Parte Decree : Supreme Court

The Supreme Court ruled that it is not necessary to file a separate application for condoning a delay along with the application to set aside an ex-parte decree. The case involved a party who had failed to appear in court, resulting in an ex-parte decree. The Court clarified that delay in filing the application for setting aside the decree could be condoned without the need for a separate application. This decision provides clarity on procedural matters related to setting aside ex-parte decrees and streamlines the process for litigants seeking to contest such decrees.
