M/S TVC SKYSHOP LTD. vs M/S RELIANCE COMMUNCIATION & INFRA.LTD.

The Supreme Court upheld the decree passed under Order XXXVII Rule 3 of the Code of Civil Procedure, affirming that the appellant, M/s. TVC Skyshop Ltd., failed to present a valid defense against the summary suit filed by M/s. Reliance Communication and Infrastructure Ltd. The Court noted that the appellant did not file an application for leave to defend nor appeared on the specified date, leading to an ex parte decree. The Court found no grounds under Order IX Rule 13 CPC to set aside the decree, as the summons was duly served and there was no sufficient cause for non-appearance.
