Court held that summons were properly served to correct and last known address of defendant, constituting valid service regardless of actual receipt. Since appellant failed to inform about change of business address and did not contest the suit, the ex parte decree was validly obtained. The decade-long delay in challenging the decree was deemed unreasonable, warranting dismissal of the application. en-us Thu, 16 Nov 2023 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 22 Apr 2025 19:03:47 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=461685 Madras HC dismissed appellant's application to set aside ex parte decree dated 24.04.2009, filed in 2019 after a decade delay.
