If a pronounced judgement is not complied by parties then it is amount to contempt Court.
Triloknath l pandey Adv. (Legal Officer.) 17 December 2010
If the decree passed agaist you is due to your fault then in such case the executing court will issue a warrant agaist you but if you are at no fault then in such case you can file an writ petition before the respective HC raising the ground of principal of natural justice and if you succeed therein then the HC will remand the matter to the court which has passed an ex-parte decree agaist you giving you the opportunity of hearing.
