In a Civil Suit consisting two Govt. Depts. as Respondents. One of them being the Registration Department. The Respondent 1 Registration Department was Set Exparte long ago.
Later in the stage of Evidence. A Call for Documents Petition was filed and since the Respondent No.1 Registration Department did not file Counter and thus the petition was allowed.
Now after the Petition is allowed. The Registration Department (Resp 1) has filed Memo asking for clarity regarding records called for
Is the action of Respondent NO.1 justified and Legal.
Please advise. Thanks in advance.

Yes, very much justified as the registration deptt is not expected to carry mountain of files unless it is informed of any particular document to be brought.

This is permissible legally, exparte against them has nothing to do with this.
