SHIRISH PAWAR, 7738990900 (Advocate) 18 June 2022
Hello,
The defendant can file an appeal within 30 days from the date of judgment. If he has any valid reason he may approach the high court later on also.

Hello Adv. Ibrahim Deshmukh, I acknowledge your question. Order XXXVII of CPC provides for summary procedure in suits where the plaintiff seeks to recover debt or liquidate the amount or in suits based on negotiable instruments. In these suits the defendant is not entitled to right to defend the suit he shall apply for leave of the court for the same and it shall be granted only if court is satisfied that there is substantial defence.
Given that an ex-parte decree has been passed against the defendant the following are the remedies available to him:
· To have an appeal against such decree under section 96(2)
· To apply for a review under Order XLVII Rule 1
· To set it aside by making an application to the court that gave such a decree under Order IX Rule 13.
Gauhati University v. Niharalal Bhattacharjee under this case it was held that limitation period for setting aside a decree or an appeal to such a decree is 30 days from the date of decree.
I hope I have answered your question.
Have a good day.
