Hello,
Order 9 Rule 13 of Civil Procedure code is the provision under which an application to set-aside the exparte decree has to be filed. It is obvious that the petition should be supported by an affidavit. The affidavit should be drafted in 1st person by elaborating the circumstances which forced you to abstain from court on the date on which the exparte decree was passed. If your absence is due to medical reasons, then you can always file documents to prove your contention. There is no straight jacket formula for drafting an interlocutory application. Still I am attaching herewith a copy of the affidavit with petition for your perusal.

Format of an application to set aside a decree passed ex parte
Important points
1. An ex parte decree is a decree that is passed by the court in absence of any response from the defendant as per Order 9 Rule 6 of CPC.
2. As per Order 9 Rule 13, the defendant may apply before the court that passed the decree to set it aside on the following grounds:
1. If he satisfies the court that the summons was not duly served
2. he was prevented by any other sufficient cause from attending the hearing. For example, bona fide mistake as to the date or hearing, late arrival of train, etc. are sufficient causes for absence of the defendant. Such an application for setting aside may be made within 30 days from the date of decree as per Section 123 of Limitation Act.
