Yes, there is no time limit under Rule 7; the time limit of 30 days is relevant when the suit is dismissed for default.

Academic query, read the provision of CPC.

Unless a Exparte decree is passed there is no question of limitation, in any cases. But before the date on which court pronounce the Expate Decree/Judgment application under order 9 Rule 7 can be filed.
