Setting Aside Exparte Award - Courts and tribunals have the authority to set aside exparte awards in motor accident claims, primarily to ensure justice and proper adjudication. The grounds typically include absence of notice, lack of valid defense, or procedural irregularities. For example, the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal (MACT) can set aside exparte awards under the Civil Procedure Code, Order 9 Rule 13, especially when the applicant demonstrates sufficient cause or procedural lapses Girdhar Lal VS Attar Singh - Punjab and Haryana.

Procedure and Conditions - Courts have laid down procedural guidelines emphasizing the importance of filing applications promptly and demonstrating valid reasons such as lack of notice, absence of driver’s license, or other procedural violations.
