casestatus.in Summary

The Supreme Court allowed Malkiat Singh's appeal and set aside the ex-parte decree passed against him in a civil damages suit. The Court held that since the trial court failed to issue notice to the appellants after their counsel pleaded "no instructions," and the appellants promptly filed an application to set aside the decree upon learning of it, they were not at fault and should not suffer. The case was remanded to the trial court to proceed from the stage where it stood when counsel reported no instructions. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
