When an appeal is heard ex-parte in the absence of the respondent and judgement is given against him, he may apply to the Appellate Court to re-hear the appeal; and if he satisfies the Court that notice was not duly served or that he was prevented by sufficient cause from attending when the appeal was called on for hearing, the Court may re-hear the appeal on such terms as to costs or otherwise as the court thinks fit to impose upon him.

Text as published by India Code for the Government of Jharkhand. The copy prints amendments in square brackets without naming the amending Acts and gives no "as amended up to" date; the newest amending instrument it names is the Chota Nagpur Tenancy (Amendment) Act, 1969 (President's Act 4 of 1969), while it already carries later wording such as references to the Regional Rural Banks Act, 1976 (section 3) and the Jharkhand Municipal Act, 2002 (section 1).
The copy prints no footnotes. Omitted words are shown as "[* * *]" where the copy shows them, and its typing errors (for example "mortgagte" in section 46 and "tor" in section 6) are reproduced as printed.
Chapter VII-A is printed only as a heading with the title "[* * *]" and contains no sections.
