Ex parte decree.

Firstly if the suit was dismissed then how can the defendant  become the decree holder.,

The relief was sought by the plaintiff, upon dismissal of the suit, there is no question of passing off the relief to the defendant because the defendant has opposed the relief sought by the plaintiff.

Do not interpret the law to your convenience

Plaintiff's suit will be deemed dismissed against all the defendants irrespective  of the fact that ex-parte order was passed against some of defendants at earlier stage.

The suit stands dismissed and closed for non-prosecution.

However, no relief for ex-parte defendants shall be granted even if the defendants have claimed.

Facts posted need more clarification, it is better to consult your lawyer who is well aware about facts and circumstances of the suit / case.

That is really non-sence

Defendant in that filled counterclaim also,that's why.

Your piecemeal information will fetch you misguiding opinions.

Nothing prevented you from furnishing the proper details in your original post.

I think you are testing the knowledge of the experts here.

If the court has not considered the counter claim and simply dismissed the case then the aggrieved defendant can prefer an appeal insofar as his counter claim before the appellate court.

Confusing statement cannot lead to form proper opinion and oblige.

It is better to consult a local prudent lawyer with relevant records for analyses of facts and professional advise.
