Maintainability of Application under Order 9 Rule 13 - Generally, an application under Order 9 Rule 13 for setting aside an ex parte decree is not maintainable if an appeal against the same decree is pending or has been dismissed. Courts have consistently held that once an appeal is filed or dismissed, the application under Order 9 Rule 13 becomes not maintainable because the matter is already under judicial consideration or finality has been reached.

Pending Appeal and Sine Die Adjournment - If an appeal is adjourned sine die or is pending, the maintainability of subsequent applications under Order 9 Rule 13 is generally considered not maintainable, as the appeal remains pending and the court's jurisdiction over the matter persists.

Effect of Dismissed or Finalized Appeal - Once an appeal is dismissed or concluded, applications under Order 9 Rule 13 are typically not maintainable, since the decree has attained finality or the appellate process has been exhausted.

Exceptions and Court Discretion - Courts may consider the timing and circumstances; for example, if the appeal is pending or has been adjourned sine die, maintainability might be contested, but generally, the law favors dismissing such applications to prevent interference with the appellate process.

Analysis and Conclusion:
The prevailing legal position, supported by multiple judgments, is that an application under Order 9 Rule 13 is not maintainable if an appeal against the same decree is pending or has been dismissed. The pendency of an appeal or its finality precludes the court from entertaining such applications, emphasizing the importance of respecting the appellate process and final judgments. Therefore, Order 9 Rule 13 applications are maintainable only when no appeal is pending or has been dismissed, and the decree is still subject to the court's review.
