COMMENTS


(i) When an ex parte decree is passed the defendant has two clear options. One to file an appeal and another to file an application under O. 9, R. 13 to set aside the Order. Once application under O. 9, R. 13 is dismissed, he cannot by filing first appeal dispute the correctness of Order posting suit for ex parte hearing or show cause for his non-appearance; Bhanu Kumar Jain v. Archana Kumar, AIR 2005 SC 626.


(ii) The subsequent events in first and second appeals cannot be taken indiscriminately into account. It may be permitted to be taken into account by appellate court by means of amendment of pleadings, in Order to avoid multiplicity of proceedings but not where such amendment could cause prejudice to vested right of plaintiff and render him remedied; Shyam Sunder v. Ram Kumar, (2001) 8 SCC 24.


(iii) New plea relating to question of fact cannot be allowed to be raised for the first time before the Ist appellate court; K. Shivalingaiah v. B.V. Chandra Shekara Gowda, AIR 1993 Kant 29: 1992 (2) Kant LJ 536: ILR (Kar) (1992) 1996.
