To set aside a "No Written Statement" (No W.S) order in a Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (MACT) case, you can file an application under the relevant provisions of the Civil Procedure Code (CPC). Typically, such applications are filed under Order 9 Rule 13 of the CPC, which deals with setting aside ex-parte decrees. Here’s a draft application for your reference:
