Mukul Thakur Ex Parte Order Dismissed

Hon'ble Mr. Justice Deepak Gupta, Chandigarh Civil Court (Junior Division)

7 July 2026

Plaintiff: Mukul Thakur (plaintiff/peoner) filed Civil Suit No. CS‑CJ‑74 of 2024 titled “Mukul Thakur v. Kreave Events and others” in the Civil Judge (Junior Division), Chandigarh.
Respondents: Kreave Events and others (including Respondent No.1 and Respondent No.2).
Background: Ex‑parte proceedings were initiated against the respondents on 15 April 2024. An order dated 15 April 2026 (Annexure P‑1) set aside those ex‑parte proceedings.
Plaintiff’s contentions: The order set aside the ex‑parte proceedings without providing any reason or justification, alleging procedural irregularity.
Respondents’ arguments: Respondent No.1 frequently travelled abroad; Respondent No.2, an employee, was unaware of the suit’s pendency and therefore could not appear. The matter was at a preliminary stage.
Court’s observations: The court examined the facts and found no illegality in the trial court’s decision. It held that exercising discretion to set aside ex‑parte proceedings is within the trial court’s jurisdiction and was correctly exercised.

The petition filed by Mukul Thakur is dismissed. The ex‑parte proceedings remain set aside as per the trial court’s order dated 15 April 2026.
