Petitioner states that since it<\/p>\n<p>was a decree passed ex-parte, it could be treated as an order<\/p>\n<p>under Order 9 Rule 13 of the Code. Accordingly, petitioner<\/p>\n<p>submitted Exhibits P3 and P4 applications to set aside the &#8220;ex-<\/p>\n<p>parte&#8221; decree and condone the delay in submitting that<\/p>\n<p>application.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>     3.

Learned counsel also submitted that<\/p>\n<p>the original of Exhibits P3 and P4 are in the custody of the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner since it was returned to him from the court. Learned<\/p>\n<p>counsel prays that petitioner may be permitted to re-present the<\/p>\n<p>original applications with a petition to condone delay.<\/p>\n<p>      4.    If the original applications are properly represented<\/p>\n<p>before the court, learned Munsiff will hear the petitioner, if<\/p>\n<p>found necessary after giving notice to the respondent also and<\/p>\n<p>pass appropriate orders on the applications.
