Revision petition not maintainable against refusal to set aside ex-parte decree under Order IX Rule 13: SC

The Supreme Court, while dealing with the issue of whether it is legal for the High Court (HC) to entertain a revision petition filed against dismissal of application for setting aside ex-parte decree under Order IX Rule 13 of the Civil Procedure Code, 1908 (CPC), has held that, since an appeal, under Order XLIII Rule 1(d) of CPC, lies with the HC against dismissal of application for setting aside ex-parte decree; the HC is not entitled to exercise its power of revision available to it under Section 115 of the CPC.
