Defendant company has taken certified copy on 24th July 2017 after oral intimation received from plaintiff- of the decree passed in summary suit under order XXXVII to pay claim amount, interest on principal amount from the date of filing the suit and cost.
Please find attached order copy.
Question.
Whether the defendant can file an application (Notice of Motion) for leave to defend now in the same court after the decree has passed??? Will it be admissible???
What grounds appeal can be filed ??? Valid defences if any in this case???
Whether the Hon'ble court where appeal shall lie will ask for the deposit of 50% amount of decree before allowing the appeal???
Previously the defendant company has not appeared or filed any documents. The Defendend company is in financial crises and will be able to pay within next 1 year.
