Dr J C Vashista (Advocate) 04 April 2014
Yes, the respondent has right to set aside ex-parte order and decree but not the petitioner. However, since the decree/order (ex-parte) is already in favour of petitioner, in that scenario what is the need for the petitioner to get it set aside?

Firstly if a compromise is arrived between husband and wife, and the husband agrees to pay one time quit amount to wife upon which the wife agrees to withdraw all her complaints against the husband, first let her withdraw all her complaints/cases and then make the payments. In 498A, you have to appear before the lok adalat wherein the said compromise has to be insisted, the mediator will record the same and upon reverting back to court, the court will record the same and will dismiss the case after fully observing other formalities in this regard. As far as the present divorce case also, the mediator will record the versions of you both and upon its opinion, the court will grant decree of divorce as prayed for by the petitioner. This will be the correct procedure to be followed. Do not go for short cut procedure of leaving it exparte because there is an imminent danger hidden in it for ever. This type of disposal is not at all advisable. Do not agree with your advocate for this, this may look good now but not for ever.
