I understand that, but cannot i resolve it at my end? The matter is currently at other defendant's evidence stage, plaintiff's cross examination is completed so at this stage cannot i file set aside order application to set aside the order where we have been proceeded ex parte?

Also our WS, Vakalatnama, Affidavit of submission/denial was on record in time, can court still proceed us exparte, instead of just closing our evidence right?

Thanks for the detailed answer, since i have my name on Vakalatanama is it possible to just file the application to set aside order with signatures at end Through counsel, or do these applications mandatorily require affidavit of client, main issue is that client and firm doesn't know yet and i want to resolve the issue at my end, even if cost is imposed like 2000, i can pay from my own pocket, but telling firm would lead to me getting fired as 4-5 appearances have been missed and due to financial crunch i cannot afford that right now.

Thanks for the help.

Made a big mistake at work :(. So i work in this firm we all have different clients assigned. So for one of this client i was appearing in district court of delhi, filed vakalat, WS and affidavit of submission/denial, all good then due to some issue this matter got deleted from my internal MIS. Due to i didnt have record of this matter and didnt appear in subsequent dates for like 3-4 hearings. So the judge passed order and our defense is now struck off. Currently the other opposite party's evidence is going on.

Now this is like one of the most premium client of our firm which pays big but recently relationship between the client and our firm has not been much good. If this thing gets our that their defense is struck off and proceedings are running ex-parte, my partner will surely fire me and id be left without job so i cant even tell him about this.

The client doesnt have inhouse legal so they havent figured it out, and issue is i dont have any SA, PA like other associates in my firm, as i directly work with Partner so can only report to him. But i can never reveal this to him.

So what can i do, i know i can file Order IX Rule 7 app. to set aside the order but would this even work after multiple absenses in dates and defense struck off. I fear the judgement be passed against us as our written statement and arguments wont be considered.

Without this job i wouldnt have anything to earn, really made a big mistake, any thing i can do without firm knowing about it? If even application is allowed how much cost may court impose as i would have to bear it out of my own pocket.

Hi, they ask you questions from your CV only, so you just need to be well prepared regarding the points you have mentioned in your cv. And no didnt recieve any assignments, just interview at their office with 2 partners and 1 HR but after that no further feedback or even a rejection mail

I appeared for an interview last week at JSA’s Delhi office for a Associate position in the Regulatory Disputes team. The interview was taken by AV and RK, both partners and went well. However, I haven’t received any update since then. I followed up via email yesterday but haven’t heard back. So how long does it usually take to hear back from the Delhi disputes team after interviews? Should i consider it declined? Also, when would it be appropriate to follow up with HR over call?

Also would appreciate any insights on the work culture, timings and the work from current or former associates.
