<h1>High Court sets aside ex parte decree, emphasizes Advocate-Court connection, mandates compliance for suit expeditious disposal.</h1> The High Court set aside the ex parte decree in a case where the District Judge dismissed a Miscellaneous Appeal for restoration of a suit. The Court ... - Issues:1. Appeal against the order of the District Judge dismissing a Miscellaneous Appeal for restoration of a suit.2. Transfer of the suit from one Court to another and the authority of the Advocate.3. Petitioner's appeal dismissed by the District Judge on the grounds of unsatisfactory explanation for absence.4. Legal position regarding the authority of the Advocate in case of transfer of proceedings to a different Court.5. Review of the decision and setting aside the ex parte decree with conditions.Analysis:Issue 1: The revision before the High Court was against the order of the District Judge, Ratnagiri, dismissing the Miscellaneous Appeal for restoration of the suit. The suit had initially been filed in a different Court and was transferred to the Court where the ex parte decree was passed. The petitioner sought restoration of the suit for hearing on merits after the decree.Issue 2: The High Court deliberated on the authority of the Advocate in the transferred proceedings. The Court observed that the authority of the Advocate may not necessarily continue if the proceedings are transferred to a different Court. The Court emphasized that the Advocate's authority is specific to the Court for which it was given, and a transfer to a distinct Court might terminate that authority.Issue 3: The petitioner's appeal was dismissed by the District Judge, who was not satisfied with the petitioner's explanation for failing to attend the Court on the relevant date. The High Court noted that both lower Courts had taken a harsh view against the petitioner, highlighting the need for negligence to be compensated without disentitling the party from defending the suit on merits.Issue 4: The High Court discussed the legal position regarding the Advocate's authority in case of a transfer of proceedings to a different Court. The Court expressed doubts about the continuation of the Advocate's authority in such situations and emphasized the need for a specific connection to the Court where the proceedings are being conducted.Issue 5: The High Court ultimately set aside the ex parte decree with conditions. The petitioner was required to pay costs and file a Vakalatnama for another Advocate in the Court where the suit was pending. The Court directed the expeditious disposal of the suit and outlined specific timelines for compliance, ensuring that the restoration of the suit was subject to fulfilling the prescribed conditions.
